You'd want your head examined or have daughters like Hopper McGrath, to manage a Ladies team thread

Meath is split - so no need for quips

That is one of the greatest spectacled in Croke Park history. Had everything

Said it loads of times that the countdown clock is a bad system.

That centre back was brilliant also

Anyone who has watched much of any Ladies football in the last few years would have noticed Vicky Wall. But she must have put in massive work over winter and has been faster, stronger and fitter this year and I’m delighted for her and Meath here.

I was going to say the typical drunk uncle but he has a pioneer pin :sweat_smile:

She was brilliant two years ago when Tipp beat them at intermediate. The younger girls like 14 and 6 have drove them over the edge. It’s a great story.

43 handpasses. Kick. 43 more handpasses.
Bad and all as the men’s game can be at times, the women’s game is dreadful.
Yeah, it was close and exciting but I’ll never warm to Peil na mBan.

Do many/any of the top ladies football teams have female managers?

Femanagers?

I though 12 as you call her, Niamh O’Sullivan I think, is a lovely citéog operator. She showed a few grand carries earlier on before slotting wan if not two peaches off the trusty left.

Didn’t Wexford have a woman who managed them to the Camogie title some years back? Stellah Sinnott. Not football I know.

Ann Downey** managed KK camogie team. She led Ballyragget men to relegation last year.

Hopefully with continued rising numbers playing the games then more women will step up but very often it’s Women who come looking for men to manage their side.

Nor can you tackle the same. You aren’t allowed two person tackles, and can only as a defender play at the ball if it’s being handpassed, or kicked, nor can you shoulder, so, in fact, there should be no arm in the tackle at all, no slapping, pulling, dragging etc.

Is that meaths first title?
