Ladies start League campaign - 14/11/02
Down's lady footballers have their first
outing of the season in the National Football League on
Sunday when they travel to near-neighbours Armagh to play
the home side in what should be a close and exciting encounter.
Both sides have many talented players in
their respective sides, and the outcome will depend on which
team plays to their full ability on the day. It is also
a 'local derby' clash, and that in itself should make the
exchanges interesting to say the least!
Ladies' football soaring
AN interesting fact emerged from a recent
Irish Government report on sport reveals that ladies' football
is the fourth largest sport in the country. There are 900
clubs and some 80,000 players taking part at present. Full
time development posts are being considered with seminars
currently being held in all provinces.
The Ulster Ladies' Council celebrates ten
years in existence with a special banquet in Kelly's Inn,
Omagh, on Friday, November 22.
