The first ever Ladies Gaelic Football Association Yearbook was launched by Dublin’s TG4 All-Ireland winning captain Carla Rowe at her home club Clann Mhuire CLG, in the Naul recently.
This inaugural yearbook has been compiled by Galway journalist John Fallon of Media West (Ireland) on behalf of the LGFA and with outstanding photography from Sportsfile, charts all of the national competitions and events throughout another eventful and successful year for the organisation.
John Fallon popped into the studio earlier to chat with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly.
The 160-page hardback publication, which features almost 400 photographs and features a detailed look at the 36 competitions — from U-14 to the TG4 All-Ireland senior championship — run by the LGFA throughout the year, is available to purchase for €20 (£18 in sterling areas) online at https://www.elverys.ie/products/ladies-gaelic-football-association-yearb-1174856 and at all Elverys outlets throughout the country.
It is also available from Charlie Byrne's Bookshop, Middle Street, Galway.
LGFA President Trina Murray said the publication of the inaugural yearbook was a great boost to the profile of the sport which now has over 200,000 members spread across 1,200 clubs in Ireland and abroad.
“I welcome this publication and it is great to have all of our events recorded in this manner. It is a timely reminder when you see all of the activities, from the underage to the fun events to the elite standard at senior level, just how big a role the LGFA now plays throughout the country and abroad.
“I would like to thank John Fallon, the great team at Sportsfile and the support from TG4 in bringing this publication to fruition and I would urge our members to support it and I look forward to it being an annual fixture,” said Trina Murray.
