Three Tipperary clubs will take part in Glenveagh Homes Gaelic4Girls Programme
Golden Kilfeacle, Holycross Ballycahill and Fethard will participate
The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) has announced details of its 2026 Glenveagh Homes Gaelic4Girls Programme – with 23 clubs from Ireland and Britain set to take part.
Those clubs include Golden Kilfeacle, Holycross Ballycahill and Fethard.
The Gaelic4Girls programme has been a huge success story for the LGFA since its inception in 2008 and is boosted once again next year by the presence and support of sponsors Glenveagh Homes, who last year extended the partnership for an extra three years.
Gaelic4Girls is a 10-week programme incorporating coaching sessions with fun, non-competitive blitzes aimed at increasing participation in Ladies Gaelic Football. The programme targets girls aged between 8-12 years who are not currently registered with a Ladies Gaelic Football club.
In 2026, 15 counties will be represented among the list of 23 participating clubs, and they’re joined by St Joseph’s from London.
The roll-out of the programme will be assisted by leading inter-county players serving as ambassadors, namely Aimee Mackin (Armagh), Laurie Ryan (Clare), Jennifer Higgins (Roscommon), Leah Caffrey (Dublin), Blaithín Bogue (Fermanagh), Síofra O’Shea (Kerry) and Louise Ward (Galway).
An exciting new ambassador will be revealed early in the New Year to join the existing team.
