Galway ladies football captain set to launch new LGFA book in Tuam
Peil, a book charting a season of Ladies Gaelic Football, will be launched next Tuesday (November 10) in Tuam by Galway’s TG4 All-Ireland winning captain Kate Geraghty.
The launch in Galway is in keeping with the inaugural yearbook last season with the publication being unveiled at the home of the senior All-Ireland winning captain.
Kate Geraghty’s home club Tuam Cortoon will stage the launch of Peil and the event will take place at Kate’s alma mater at High Cross College in Tuam (H54 V260), in the North Campus 7pm on Tuesday, November 10th.
All are welcome to attend the launch of the book which has been designed and compiled by John Fallon of Media West (Ireland) on behalf of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association with support from TG4 and Lidl.
LGFA President Trina Murray will be in attendance along with members of Kate Geraghty's club Tuam Cortoon who recently won the Galway and Connacht intermediate titles.
The 192-page hardback book, which will soon be on sale for €20 in all Lidl branches around the country, features All-Ireland successes enjoyed by teams from 17 different counties, from U-14 to schools, third level colleges, club competitions and inter-county league and championship.
The book features almost 500 photographs from Sportsfile, with Galway featuring prominently following their TG4 All-Ireland senior success, the inaugural U-20 All-Ireland title and, of course, Kilkerrin-Clonberne’s All-Ireland five-in-a-row success.
There are also features on Galway’s 2004 All-Ireland winning manager PJ Fahy and Kilkerrin-Clonberne manager Willie Ward along with other stories and photographs from Galway.
