Coppinger lament at rule rejection

The LGFA’s decision to reject a motion calling for official recognition of the dual player has been described as “a backward step” by Cork’s Libby Coppinger.

At Saturday’s LGFA congress, a Dublin motion proposing to write in rule that the LGFA “recognises and supports the concept of a dual player, as defined, and will encourage all of its Units to support and facilitate its playing members of all ages, who wish to do so, to play both Ladies Gaelic Football and Camogie” was beaten.
