Gaelic Football

Coventry University’s Ladies Gaelic Football Club was founded four years ago by a group of Irish girls who had recently moved to the area to study at the university. The club was established in order to help those living away from home stay connected to their roots, meet other Irish people, introduce newcomers to the game and most importantly, have the craic whilst creating friendships that would last a lifetime. Any sporting success in competition that came on top of that would be a bonus, but, almost four years later, we are delighted with the progress and status the club has achieved. In our first year of existence, we were entered into Division 2 and by the end of that year, were crowned winners of both the League & British University Championships. In our following years, we made in to the semi-final stage of both Division 1 & 2 respectively, were crowned Division 2 British Champions once again as well as achieving more league success. Sadly, due to covid-19 our championship this year was cancelled but we had many successes through the year as we had new players from all over the world and Ireland. Players gained skills and had a craic time while doing it.
