GAA Rounders this week announced the election of Paula Doherty as its first-ever female President, marking a historic milestone for one of the fastest-growing sports in Ireland.
With over 70 clubs, over 2,500 adult players, and new clubs forming every week, the sport enters a period of major expansion under Doherty’s leadership.
