Junior Dub Stars Kick Off 2018 Season
- Jan 12,2018
New Ireland Assurance Junior Dub Stars
This Sunday our Junior Dub Stars representatives will officially get the Dublin LGFA 2018 season underway.
Dublin LGFA first introduced the Junior Dub Stars concept back in 2015 since then the Junior event has proven to be tremendous success providing a perfect platform to recognise and acknowledge the commitment and dedication of our Junior club players who give huge commitment and dedication to their sport.
The two panels this season have been increased slightly from 25 to 26 thus providing 52 players representing 41 junior clubs from right across the County the opportunity to wear a Dub Stars jersey.
Each player chosen as a Junior Dub Star will each receive a full Dub Stars kit along with a specially commissioned Dub Stars commemorative medal.
Ciara McDunphy (Raheny) and Gillian McCluskey (Erins Isle) will captain the sides in recognition of their respective clubs winning the Junior B and Junior C New Ireland Assurance club championships in 2017.
The Junior Dub Stars game will get proceedings underway in DCU (St Clare’s) at 11:30am followed by the senior game at 1.30pm, Senior Dub Stars versus All Ireland champions, Dublin.
Admission to the Dub Stars event on January 14th in DCU will be free of charge however patrons will be encouraged to support a bucket collection in aid of Gaelic Voices for Change.
