THE two codes of Ladies Gaelic Football and Camogie in Antrim came together to launch the county championship season across senior, intermediate and junior categories.
The combined photoshoot in Belfast’s Commercial Court was chosen to encompass the coloured umbrellas attraction in keeping with both codes’ diversity aims.
The Big Fish at Donegall Quay and the Lady of the Lagan tour boat also provided photoshoot backdrops.
From the start of the year, both codes, under the stewardship of Ursula Lynch, chair Antrim LGFA, and Úna Kelly, chair Antrim Camogie, have been progressively aligning fixtures for both league and championships to work for both entities.
It has been more than just a wish, as fixture committees have worked enthusiastically together to make it a reality.
Úna Kelly stressed: “We have been working closely with the LGFA this year in terms of fixtures planning and as we move towards integration with the GAA in 2027, we believe we are working hard together to bring our organisations forward in a position of strength through our close relationship.
“We have secured funding from Belfast City Council to enable us to continue to work to empower and promote sport throughout our county for women and girls of all ages and backgrounds.”
