Gaelic4Girls – 8 weeks ago the Faughs under the guidance of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, kicked off the Gaelic4Girls programme with the aim of increasing participation in Ladies Gaelic Football. Over the 8 weeks, up to 50 girls, between the ages of 8 and 13 years have participated, some having played football before, some never but extremely eager to learn. While the programme comes to an end tonight (Thursday), all the hard work of the girls will be put on display, at the Regional Blitz Day on Saturday (26th Nov), in Cloghan at 11.30am. At this Blitz, the girls will come together with the other participants of all the Gaelic4Girls programmes showcasing their new skills and receiving their Gaelic4Girls medals, Jersey and Certificate. They will also get to meet the Ladies Gaelic Football All Stars and other County Stars. These girls have worked extremely hard over the 8 weeks, and we ask that you all come out to support them on Saturday.
