Cork senior ladies football manager Ephie Fitzgerald has expressed disappointment with the LGFA’s decision to abandon the 2021 All-Ireland minor championship.

The 2016 All-Ireland-winning manager believes the decision runs counter to the efforts being made in each county to encourage girls to take up the sport, firstly, and then stay with the game beyond their teenage years.
