Life after Louise begins for Kerry as LGFA leagues crank up

New Kerry boss Mark Bourke has named nine of the team that started in Croke Park last August.

Méadhbh MacNamara (Limerick), Carla Rowe (Dublin), Nicola Ward (Galway), Síofra O’Shea (Kerry) and Shannan McQuade (Fermanagh) joined Lidl and the LGFA to ‘Get Behind the Fight’ at the 2025 National Football League Launch in Croke Park this morning. Lidl and the LGFA have unveiled new research examining the public’s attitudes towards female sporting role models, with 42% of consumers stating they would be more likely to attend a female sports event if a high-profile player was involved.

Life after Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh begins for Kerry with a home tie against Armagh as the 2025 Lidl Ladies National Football Leagues cranks up this week, following the Division 4 throw-in last week.

The Tralee fixture (live on TG4, 1:30pm) will revive memories of the 2024 Lidl NFL Division 1 Final between the counties, won by Armagh at Croke Park.
