***This Saturday 17th January***Douglas LGFA Annual Social Evening-Ticket link closing at 6pm this Thursday

 

Join us for a night celebrating our players — an evening of dinner, fun, and team spirit!

We are delighted to welcome members of the All -Ireland winning Cork LGFA minor team after their comprehensive victory last summer along with Juliet Murphy, All-Ireland–winning Cork captain and one of the greatest players in the history of Ladies’ Gaelic Football.
Juliet represented Cork at senior level from the mid-1990s to 2013, winning eight All-Ireland Senior titles, including captaining Cork to a famous three-in-a-row in 2005, 2006 & 2007.
She earned six TG4 All-Star awards, was named Players’ Player of the Year in 2011, and was renowned for her exceptional midfield presence — intelligence, vision, leadership, and unwavering composure under pressure.

A night not to be missed! Ticket sales closing this Thursday so get yours now!
Tickets available through Eventbrite. Please see team Whats app groups for ticket link, or click here> LGFA Social Evening Tickets
