Closer links between Camogie and Ladies Gaelic Football moved a step closer at the weekend when the Camogie Association adopted the One Club model that should assist in promotional and administrative areas for both sports.
This was one of the motions adopted at the Annual Camogie Congress in Cork.  Aileen Lawlor became the 29th president of the Association, succeeding Joan O’Flynn, and a rule change was introduced which gives two points for a converted sideline cut.
Lawlor highlighted the need to grow participation in the sport as key main aim for the next two years.  With more than 40 new clubs founded in the last two years there is a good platform to work from.
She has also highlighted the need to introduce a greater number of female referees and vowed to support the clubs now playing the sport on five continents as a means of ensuring emigrating players were not lost to the sport.
Sport for Business will host a Members Round Table event on Women in Sport on Thursday May 31st Contact Rob@SportforBusiness.com if you would like to participate.
