Lane: Women’s Gaelic Players Association about the players and will be led by the players

Engagement with their governing bodies is key for the Women’s Gaelic Players Association, according to chairwoman Dr Aoife Lane.

Speaking at their launch at Smock Alley Theatre in Temple Bar yesterday, the Waterford IT-based lecturer said they would ‘fully engage’ with both the Ladies Gaelic Football and Camogie associations.

Representatives on the top table in both codes were present, and Lane admitted that although ‘unfavourable issues’ needed to be addressed, the WGPA was eager to actively open communication channels to improve inter-county standards for players.
