What sort of criteria was requested prior to expressing interest? From what I've heard Rovers put a great presentation to the FAI and far exceeded all the requirements.Quote:

The deadline for application
Great Presentation? Did that include links to a schoolgirl club that doesn't exist like their website?
Bet it was a great DVD though.Quote:

Unfortunately there was no DVD so cant send you that :-) (On a plus note, great links with local Girls teams and growing)... exciting times for this new league, great work happening on the ground by all teams.
Longford Town made a senior ladys team now, will be throwing them into the midlands league to begin, spine of the team will be this years u16 team and will prob try and nab a few county GAA ladys who have a footie background
Interesting draw for Peamount; French champions PSG! Unlike many of their counterparts elsewhere PSG pour serious resources into their ladies and many of the players are on semi-pro contracts. Big games are played in Parc de Princes, often in front of big crowds. Otherwise they play at the Loges in St. Germain where the rest of the PSG sides play.Quote:
