Naomh Gall Ladies Gaelic Football club are delighted to announce details of an exciting new programme called Gaelic4Girls that is commencing on Sat 13 April 2013 from 12 – 1pm in St Marys University P E Hall, Falls Road. Gaelic4Girls is initially an 8 week programme aimed at increasing participation in Ladies Gaelic Football. The programme targets girls aged between 9-13 years who are not currently registered with a Ladies Gaelic Football Club.
Gaelic4Girls is focused on fun and participation, allowing girls to get an introduction to Ladies Gaelic Football in a non-competitive environment. On completion of the programme, participants are presented with certificates and t-shirts for their participation. Following the 8 weeks, the girls will be encouraged to register with our Ladies Football club, and those that do will be integrated into the existing teams. A Mini Blitz will also be held with another Gaelic4Girls site after the 8 weeks and this is a major highlight of the programme.
This is the first Gaelic4Girls programme to be held in the area and the surrounding areas are encouraged to attend and learn the basic skills of Ladies Gaelic Football. This is a great way to make new friends and learn a new sport! The cost for the entire programme is only €8. For more information contact Fionnuala Murphy at Naomh Gall on 90625505.

Training is well underway for all Senior and Senior Football panel members.
With several league games underway for both teams the month of May promises to be a busy one for football with with 6 senior and 6 reserve games scheduled, sometimes with 3 games for each team in the one week.
As senior and reserve games are played on same days and venues with reserve games proceeding the senior games, no doubt the depth and strength of the squad will be tested. As its a busy period for games, training will most likely continue to be at the pitch on a Friday evening with games in between. All newcomers, previous minors and former players welcome.
In an effort to raise funds for Senior Football, this years Senior and Senior reserve Football matches will have a match sponsor. The sponsors to date have included friends and business associates of Naomh Gall. Anyone interested in sponsoring a match should contact the Club PRO Ciaran Bradley. This weeks Senior Football Matches V Cargin are being sponsored RFL STEELS LTD (Kildare and Belfast) www.rfl.ie. Please support our match sponsors.
