Equality push far from over for new Cork captain Aoife Murray

New Cork captain Aoife Murray says that there is still a long way to go for women to be treated equally to their male counterparts within the Gaelic games family.

Speaking at yesterday’s launch of the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues, which get underway on Sunday with a round of Division 1 games, Murray hailed the success of the recent inaugural All-Stars tour to Madrid as a vital development in providing camogie players with parity of esteem.

In a week when the LGFA announced a number of high-profile double-headers throughout the National Leagues, she also noted that camogie had shared its Division 1 League final with the hurling equivalent for a number of years and been part of a number of championship double-headers as well.
