Aoife Lane: I believe GAA is ready to embrace equality

A Sunday afternoon in December, it’s 1pm and the setting is Sarsfields GAA Club, Co Galway. The place is busy, there’s a minor camogie game on the main, newly developed pitch, and a Men’s junior B game on the second pitch, writes Aoife Lane

I’ve no idea how the pitch allocation took place but the positioning of the young women on the main field very much suggests an ethos of equality in this club. Hopefully this is a familiar experience in other clubs, but likely not all, and unfortunately there are many cases where the women’s team are far down the pecking order.
