Happy Birthday Dublin LGFA
- May 06,2024
*HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUBLIN LGFA*
On this date 39 years ago, Dublin LGFA was founded (6th of May 1985). In twelve months’ time we will look forward to celebrating our associations 40th anniversary.
Since those fledgling times Dublin LGFA has grown to be one of the largest female sporting bodies in Ireland with a membership now in excess of 27,000 drawn from seventy-four affiliated clubs.
Our history committee is now inviting clubs, members and supporters from day one to present times, to play their part in assisting us document and record the history of Ladies Gaelic football in Dublin.
Each affiliated club is invited to record and produce a compact account (2000-4000 words) on the history of ladies Gaelic football within their respective clubs.
Elements to include - when ladies Gaelic football began in the club, roll of honour, names of those who established LGFA in the club, provide a list of names of players who represented the club at County level.
Did any of your club members serve on LGFA committees at County, provincial and or national levels. What role has ladies football played in the club and what is your club’s vision for the sport as we look to the future.
From an Inter County perspective we are seeking your assistance in gathering stories, news articles, match programmes, historical documents and photographs, which will be then used to compile, document and archive our history at County level. We are especially seeking items from our early years 1985 up to around 2010.
Several clubs may already have their historical information recorded and ready to share.
All historical information can be emailed to dublinlgfahistory@gmail.com
