    The Ladies Gaelic Football Association Est 1974 Official Guide 2020 6th April The Ladies Gaelic Football Association The Ladies Gaelic Football Association was founded in Hayes Hotel, Thurles, County Tipperary on 18 July 1974. Four counties, Offaly, Kerry, Tipperary and Galway attended the meeting. However, eight counties namely Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Waterford, Galway, Roscommon, Laois and Offaly participated in the first official All Ireland Senior Championship of that year, which was won by Tipperary. Today, Ladies Gaelic Football is played in all counties in Ireland. It is also played in Africa, Asia, Australia, Britain, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, South America and the USA on an organised basis. It is imperative for our Association to maintain and foster our supportive contact with our International units. Our Association in Ireland must influence and help Ladies Football Clubs Internationally and share the spirit of home with those who are separated physically from their homes and to introduce those who have no connection with Ireland to the enjoyment of our sporting culture and heritage. The structure of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association is similar to that of the GAA with Clubs, County Boards, Provincial Councils, Central Council and Annual Congress. The National President is elected for one term of four years and shall not serve two consecutive terms. The Association was recognised by the GAA in 1982. In the early years of its foundation, the Association used the rules in the Official Guide of the GAA in conjunction with its own rules. The Ladies Gaelic Football Association decided at a Central Council meeting on 7th October 1985 to publish its own Official Guide.

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

  • Annual Report
    Introduction GAA Games Development 2014 Annual Report for the Irish Sports Council GAA Games Development 2014 A Annual Report for the Irish Sports Council @GAAlearning GAALearning www.learning.gaa.ie Foreword Foreword At a Forum held in Croke Park in June 2014 over 100 young people aged 15 – 19 were asked to define in one word what the GAA means to them. In their words the GAA is synonymous with ‘sport’, ‘parish’, ‘club’, ‘family’, ‘pride’ ‘passion’, ‘cultúr’, ‘changing’, ‘enjoyment’, ‘fun’, ‘cairdeas’. Above all these young people associated the GAA with the word ‘community’. At its most fundamental level GAA Games Development – through the synthesis of people, projects and policies – provides individuals across Ireland and internationally with the opportunity to connect with, participate in and contribute as part of a community. The nature and needs of this unique community is ever-changing and continuously evolving, however, year upon year GAA Games Development adapts accordingly to ensure the continued roll out of the Grassroots to National Programme and the implementation of projects to deliver games opportunities, skill development and learning initiatives. As recognised by Pierre Mairesse, Director General for Education and Culture in the European Commission, these serve to ‘go beyond the traditional divides between sports, youth work, citizenship and education’. i Annual Report for the Irish Sports Council. GAA Games Development 2014 2014 has been no exception to this and has witnessed some important milestones including: 89,000 participants at Cúl Camps, the introduction of revised Féile competitions that saw the number of players participating in these tournaments increase by 4,000, as well as the first ever National Go Games Week - an event that might have seemed unlikely less than a decade ago.

  • The Settlement of Church Discipline Among Irish Friends with Special Reference to George Fox's Visit, 1669
    The Settlement of Church Discipline among Irish Friends With special reference to George Fox's visit, 1669. By ISABEL GRUBB N 1698 the National Meeting of Friends in Ireland asked some Friends to prepare an account of the rise and progress Iof the Truth in Ireland. Three MS. copies of this history still exist and I quote from one marked as having been checked and altered by William Edmondson and ten other Friends at the request of the National Meeting. Edmondson's handwriting can be recognised in the corrections. Under the date 1668 this book records: In this year it came into the hearts of some faithful friends, who were concerned for the welfare and prosperity of truth to appoint and set up general meetings for each province, once in every six weeks, as well for the edification and mutual comfort one of another, and knowing how friends were in their testimonies, as for regulating some things needful in the church; as in the case of the poor, to relieve them in their necessities, the decent and orderly proceedings in marriage, that all things might be clear, just and equal before the accomplishment, with other things of like tendency; the weight of which concerns much rested upon that faithful elder in the truth William Edmondson; whom the Lord hath been pleased to make instrumental not only in begetting many to the truth in this nation but that they might be preserved in faithfulness to it. and might walk answerable to the holy profession thereof, accordingly such provincial six weeks meetings were concluded of and settled among Friends in the said provinces of Ulster, Leinster and Munster, which so remains to this day.

    Down GAA Update EXTRA TIME – Saturday 16th May 2020 This week’s edition of Extra Time can be viewed online by Clicking here This week’s edition of Extra Time can be download in PDF Format by Clicking here Welcome again to Extra Time, we hope that you are continuing to Stay Safe and are in Good Health. We don't have any Good News for you yet in regard to any return to activity, we remain optimistic but as we said last week it is a cautious optimism. We welcome the clear direction and leadership shown by our Uachtaran John Horan on the Sunday Game and we congratulate John on his articulate leadership, which he showed on the night. It is a harsh reality that until we have clear guidelines in regard to Social Distancing in the future we are unable to set you out any plan of future activity, future guidelines in regard to Social Distancing will affect all aspects of our Games, the playing, the watching, the administering, all will be dependent on a relaxation of the criteria's around Social Distancing. On a positive note, Contractors who had been undertaking Capital Projects for our Clubs can now return to those sites from Monday May 18th, in regard to any voluntary duties that Clubs wished to take on we urge you to still be patient, Pitch Maintenance and Weekly Checks on your Club Premises are the only duties that can be exercised at present and we ask all Clubs to respect these guidelines. There has been no definitive decision taken in regard to the holding of the 2020 Kellogg's Cúl Camps, we expect direction shortly on their viability and we will convey that decision to you our Clubs in the first instance.
