The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) have admitted they were surprised by the statement issued by the Gaelic Players Association on behalf of female inter-county panels.

Senior inter-county ladies footballers and camogie players confirmed at a press briefing on Monday morning that they will play the remainder of this year’s championship “under protest” at the apparent lack of progress shown by the governing bodies and the GAA regarding player welfare issues.
