Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh idir shult agus tairbhe as an seasúir seo. Gúim gach rath agus bláth ar ár foirne uilig. It is a great honour to welcome you all, our loyal supporters, to a new national league season. We enter this season with spirit and optimism, having enjoyed a solid pre- season, with robust performances in the McKenna Cup, the McGurk Cup and the Kehoe Cup. Our league objectives are straightforward and achievable : to win all of our home games and achieve promotion. We wish Lenny and Darren well. Off the pitch, we have several causes for optimism. With the recent political developments, our main strategic objective at Pairc Mhic Easmaint has a renewed optimism and in the coming months we hope to present you with a firm position with regards to the decision on our planning application and hopefully thereafter a realistic timetable for the 21 month build project. Having endured six years of being a county without a ground with a covered stand, three of our clubs are at varying stages of developing seated covered stands for spectators. Ó Donnabháin Rosa recently secured planning and funding to develop a 200 seater stand at Páirc Rosa and look forward to commencing work this year. Cumann Micheál Mac Dáibhéid will open their amazing brand new facilities at Páirc Mac Dhábhéid on Saturday 8th February with the visit of the All Ireland senior hurling champions Tipperary. Tipp have been a long standing anamchara to Antrim and we encourage all of you to get your tickets well in advance as we trust that the 3400 capacity ground will be close to full! Our designated second county ground, at Corrigan Park is also undergoing a transformation with groundworks having commenced this week to build a new 400 seater stand and terracing for 2000 spectators. The project benefits from a £500,000 grant from Central Council with the balance coming from the County Board, Ulster Council, the Saffron Business Forum, Club Aontroma and the St John’s GAC. In a very short time we will be able to welcome visiting counties to facilities worthy of our teams preparations. I would specifically like to single out the Glenavy and Loch gCaol clubs for their commitment and assistance in providing us with homes for our national leagues games this year, go raibh math agaibh a chairde. Finally, I would like to commend Club Aontroma for taking the initiative and preparing our match programmes for the national league. We will all agree that the programmes for the County finals enhanced our collective enjoyment of the day and with enhanced spectator facilities on the way we hope our improved match day experience will drive attendance and appreciation for the hard work our county panels put in. Our programme today includes player profiles and the commencement of a running series showcasing the exceptional developments that our clubs are involved in, because ultimately our strength lies on our clubs. As with all progressive initiatives, there are costs engaged and I would encourage any local small businesses to avail of the advertising opportunities to promote their businesses on these pages and equally I would encourage all of our patrons to support those businesses that contribute to county development. Ní neart go cuir le chéile !! Go raibh maith agaibh a chairde, we are very appreciative of your continued support, year in year out. Bainigí sult as an lá!

    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.

  • Camogie Association & GAA Information and Guidance Leaflet On
    Camogie Association & GAA Information and Guidance leaflet on the National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 March 2015 1 National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Act The National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 is the vetting legislation passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas in December 2012. This legislation is part of a suite of complementary legislative proposals to strengthen child protection policies and practices in Ireland. Once the ‘Vetting Bureau Act’ commences the law on vetting becomes formal and obligatory and all organisations and their volunteers or staff who with children and vulnerable adults will be legally obliged to have their personnel vetted. Such personnel must be vetted prior to the commencement of their work with their Association or Sports body. It is important to note that prior to the Act commencing that the Associations’ policy stated that all persons who in a role of responsibility work on our behalf with children and vulnerable adults has to be vetted. This applies to those who work with underage players. (The term ‘underage’ applies to any player who is under 18 yrs of age, regardless of what team with which they play). The introduction of compulsory vetting, on an All-Ireland scale through legislation, merely formalises our previous policies and practices. 1 When will the Act commence or come into operation? The Act is effectively agreed in law but has to be ‘commenced’ by the Minister for Justice and Equality who decides with his Departmental colleagues when best to commence all or parts of the legislation at any given time.

This has been a year like no other. We need not rehearse the difficulties faced by society, by our friends, our families, our neighbours, but we as an Association have stepped up and led in our communities. The second wave is not the fault of the GAA. No organisation has had the same profoundly positive effect on Irish society as the GAA. We have been a provider of recreation and enjoyment to young and old, a creator and enhancer of community spirit, an unrivalled machine for the production of joy which has done more to improve the mental and physical health of the nation than any initiative in Irish history. We salute the communitarian spirit and ethos of all our clubs, for delivering food parcels, and allowing our games to flourish safely when permitted. We are responsible and we value our well- deserved reputation, which is why we welcome you virtually to our games this weekend. We are delighted to link up with BeoSport for the Joe McDonough Cup game with Westmeath. Since we were last together, we have had an exceptionally successful and safe club championships, and we applaud all of our county champions for providing such joy to their communities. We are exceptionally proud of our county hurling team, who performed heroically last week in Portlaoise in the league final to win promotion to the top tier of hurling.

We benefit again from an exceptional welcome from the Casements of Port Chluain Eoghain on what is a special day for the club and ourselves as a county. Having hosted the club’s first ever national league fixture last week, which seen a healthy victory for our senior hurlers against Meath, we are delighted to return today for perhaps our most important match of the year against Limerick. Moving Day is a term sometimes used in American sports to describe the critical day in a league campaign, where games of determinative significance take place which will have a bearing on the final league places. Today is such a day for both of our senior teams. We welcome Limerick today who are unbeaten in the league and rightly sit at the top of the table, however we have targeted maximum return from our home fixtures so today is a must win. Victory today will place us one point behind Limerick, heading into the last two games, away to Wicklow on 15th March and finishing at home against Waterford a week later on 22nd March. Second place in the league will secure a place in the league final at Croke Park. Limerick also still have to play Wexford who have won their last 3 games since losing to us on day one, so it is all to play for.

  • GAA Streaming Policy & Local License Agreement
    GAA Streaming Policy & Local License Agreement Background Streaming of audio and audio-visual content is now a worldwide phenomenon and the practice of online live sports consumption has seen particularly high growth levels in recent times. In line with this trend, there has also been a significant increase in the number of third-party companies, GAA Provincial councils, County boards and local clubs looking to stream live matches digitally (both in audio and audio-visual formats). This development in a GAA context not only offers a service to those who cannot attend a match in person (especially those who live or are travelling overseas) but also creates a potential revenue source for GAA units. To facilitate these requests without infringing upon the rights held by the GAA’s existing national broadcast partners, this document and licensing agreement intends to set out the policy and process within which stakeholders must follow to gain approval before any match streaming can occur. In each match case, the ‘Requesting GAA Unit’ who wishes to conduct the live stream should gain permission from the relevant ‘Approving GAA Unit’. This approval process is managed as follows: Requesting GAA Unit Approving GAA Unit GAA Clubs County Board County Board Provincial Council Provincial Council Commercial Dept., Croke Park Gaining Approval Step 1: Find out if the competition within which the match occurs falls under any existing rights sold by the GAA to its broadcast partners at national level (a list of which is included in ‘Appendix 1 National Broadcast Agreement Competitions’). If the match does fall within one of these competitions already linked to a national broadcast agreement, GAA units are not permitted to stream the match.
