Lane: New WGPA a response to player needs

The creation of the Women’s Gaelic Players’ Association (WGPA) was driven by the players themselves, chairman Aoife Lane has revealed.

The association — which is a united effort between inter-county ladies football and camogie players — will officially launch in January, but has been in the pipeline for the last year.

“We spoke to players during the summer months and very much found that there was a need for something like this,” said Lane.
