Former Clare Captain Laurie Ryan on the impact

Emma Duggan & Vikki wall 🤯🤯 Meath ladies are incredible to watch - heart and hard work! Great game so far - Some second half to come I would imagine.

starts its 2023 women’s season tomorrow, February 25th, with a first ever President’s Cup game between Shelbourne and Athlone Town in Athlone Town Stadium.
Ahead of the game President Higgins received both club captains at Áras an Uachtaráin yesterday
After 8 weeks of symptoms that impacted my everyday life and prevented me from both sport and work. I cannot stress how important it is to get the proper help and rehab. Do not rush yourself back.
#Concussion
CONCUSSION. There is alot of work ongoing to increase awareness at all levels in GAA. Can I ask you to RT and share this link to the GAA Concussion guidelines. I have also included photo of summary guidelines as quick reference tool. Thanks

This is an absolute joke, a team that has given so much to ladies football in both Mayo and the All-Ireland series over the years. A club that has produced some of the best players around! This is beneficial to no one.
Welcome Back Laurie Ryan and Enda Minogue!
Athlone Town AFC are delighted to announce the re-signing of Laurie Ryan, and Enda Minogue!
Welcome Back 👋

Feels like a good time to re-share this. A long read, but a really important one.
Concussion is a brain injury and it needs to be taken more seriously. I found out the hard way, as did

and

, who spoke so openly last year.
It was a brilliant day with
