The Camogie Association PRIDE Round will take place this coming weekend for the third consecutive year, solidifying its place as a cornerstone event in the Camogie calendar.
The PRIDE Round of the Gelen Dimplex All Ireland Championship shines a spotlight on inclusivity and diversity ensuring that members of the LGBTQ+ community feel valued, respected, and embraced within the Camogie family.
“PRIDE Round is a vital initiative that celebrates the richness of diversity and fosters an environment of acceptance and support within our beloved sport,” says Brian Molloy, Uachtarán of the Camogie Association.
The event is set to feature engaging matchups across various championship levels, with the Senior Championship’s Round 5, Intermediate Championship’s Rounds 3 (Group 2) and 5 (Group 1), and Premier Junior Championship’s Round 4 all dedicated to promoting visibility and inclusivity.
“At Glen Dimplex, we care about people, and inclusivity plays a major role in ensuring everyone feels seen in the workplace and on the pitch,” said Aiden Kinsella, Glen Dimplex Marketing Executive.
“We are honoured to support the Camogie Association’s dedication to PRIDE Month and to LGBTQ+ inclusivity.”
PRIDE Round is a platform for counties and clubs to organise activities highlighting inclusivity and unity within their communities. Players, coaches, supporters, and volunteers are encouraged to actively partake in these efforts, reaffirming their dedication to fostering a welcoming environment where all individuals can authentically express themselves.
To get involved, clubs and counties are urged to host events that showcase visibility and inclusivity, sharing their initiatives on social media with the hashtags #ShowYourPRIDE, #PRIDERound, and #OurPassionOurGame while tagging the Camogie Association.
