BALLYPHEHANE LADIES FOOTBALL CLUB
The clubs founding president and Chairperson Mrs. Denise Walsh had been training in the girl’s secondary school for a number of years and noticed that there was no club in the parish for local girls to carry on the sport of Gaelic football once they had left school, so in 2007 Ballyphehane Ladies Football club was founded.
The first Ladies team formed in the club were the Junior Team and as the number rapidly grew at underage level an U-14 team was formed and in its first year reached the U-14 City Championship final, losing narrowly in a very close final.
In summer of 2009 the club ran a course for Gaelic for Girls ranging from 7 to 14 year olds through the support from Croke Park which encouraged a great amount of young girls from the parish to join the club which helped our club to progress and grow.
At present the club is catering for age groups from U8, U10, U11, U12, U14, U16, Junior and also a number to 5 to 7 year olds also.
The club currently has at least 180-200 members with 16 committee members and trainers registered with the club.
The club home is at the Green in Ballyphehane where it shares the dressing room facilities with the male section of the club
