THE Ladies Gaelic Football Association and championship sponsors TG4 have announced details of their 2018 summer TV schedule. TG4 will screen 19 fixtures covering the senior and intermediate championships, beginning on Saturday, July 14 and running until All-Ireland final day on Sunday, September 16. Over the course of eight weekends, TG4 will bring you the very best action from a revamped championship, culminating at Croke Park when the TG4 All-Ireland junior, intermediate and senior champions will be crowned. In a further development, the LGFA and TG4 have also unveiled a new logo bearing the words ‘Peil na mBan’ to mark Bliain na Gaeilge. In addition, the LGFA Official Guide is now available ‘as Gaeilge’ while an activity day at Croke Park on April 2 will involve underage teams from Gaeltacht clubs. Lá Náisiúnta Blitz na gClub Gaeltachta 2018 will see U12 girls from all over Ireland gather at Croke Park to pit their wits against each other and mingle with some of Ladies football’s leading stars. Ladies Gaelic Football Association CEO Helen O’Rourke commented: “We are pleased to reveal another big summer of championship action live on TG4 but finding suitable times for our televised fixtures proved extremely challenging. “Due to the GAA’s new fixtures schedule, we felt restricted to a large degree and we had to work extremely hard to find suitable broadcast times in conjunction with our championship sponsors, TG4. “However, we are hugely enthused by Bliain na Gaeilge and the ongoing celebrations are very important to us. “Our members can now also view our Official Guide in the Irish language while the addition of ‘Peil na mBan’ to our existing logo recognises Bliain na Gaeilge. “I’m really looking forward to the activity day at Croke Park next month, which is a unique event and will celebrate the Irish language through the medium of the game that we all love.” TG4 Director General, Alan Esslemont said: “This is Bliain na Gaeilge and TG4 is delighted that the LGFA is substantially increasing the profile of the Irish language throughout the association. “Through our very successful partnership with LGFA and Lidl, TG4 is extremely proud that we can help to give women’s football the prominence it deserves. “The #properfan campaign has contributed to a surge in interest in the games and the stunning success of last year’s LGFA Championship has brought a very welcome focus onto all women’s sports throughout Ireland.” 2018 TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Football championship summer schedule Saturday July 14 – TG4 Ladies Football championship – 1pm and 3pm Saturday July 21 – TG4 Ladies Football championship – 3pm and 4.45pm Saturday July 28 – TG4 Ladies Football championship – 1pm and 7pm Monday August 6 – TG4 Ladies Football 1/4 finals – 3pm and 4.45pm Sunday August 12 – TG4 Ladies Football 1/4 finals – 5pm and 6.45pm Saturday August 18 – TG4 Ladies Football semi-finals – 4pm and 5.45pm Saturday August 25 – TG4 Ladies Football semi-finals – 12.30pm and 2.15pm Sunday September 16 – TG4 All-Ireland finals TÁ áthas ar Chumann Pheil na mBan agus ar TG4, urraitheoirí an chraobhchomórtais, sceideal craolta teilifíse shamhradh 2018 a fhógairt.

Deir Helen O’Rourke Príomhfheidhmeannach Chumann Pheil na mBan: “Tá muid sásta samhradh mór eile d’aicsean beo ar TG4 sa gcraobhchomórtas a fhógairt ach bhí dúshlán mór ag baint le hamanna feiliúnacha a fháil chun na cluichí a chraoladh. “De bharr sceideal nua cluichí CLG bhí muid srianta go mór agus bhí orainn oibriú go dian chun teacht ar amanna craolta i gcomhpháirt le TG4, urraitheoirí an chraobhchomórtais. “Tá muid ar bís, áfach, faoi Bhliain na Gaeilge agus tá an ceiliúradh leanúnach a bhaineann léi thar a bheith tábhachtach dúinn. “Tá ár dTreoirleabhar Oifigiúil le fáil i nGaeilge anois ag ár mbaill agus is mar aitheantas ar Bhliain na Gaeilge a cuireadh ‘Peil na mBan’ leis an lógó reatha atá againn. “Tá mé ag súil leis an lá gníomhaíochta i bPáirc an Chrócaigh an mhí seo chugainn, ócáid faoi leith a dhéanfaidh ceiliúradh ar ár dteanga náisiúnta trí mheán an chluiche a bhfuil gean ár gcroí againn air.” Deir Ardstiúrthóir TG4, Alan Esslemont: “Seo í Bliain na Gaeilge agus tá ríméad ar TG4 go bhfuil an LGFA ag ardú phróifíl na Gaeilge ar fud an chumainn. Tá TG4 iontach bródúil go bhfuil muid ábalta an t-aitheantas is dual di a thabhairt do Pheil na mBan agus sin á dhéanamh againn mar chuid dár gcomhpháirtíocht rathúil leis an LGFA & Lidl. Chuidigh an feachtas #properfan le borradh mór a chur sa tsuim atá sna cluichí agus tharraing sár-chaighdeán chraobhchomórtais na bliana seo caite aird ar spóirt na mban trí chéile ar fud na hÉireann.” Sceideal Samhraidh Chraobhchomórtais Uile Éireann TG4 2018 Dé Sathairn an14 Iúil – Craobhchomórtas Pheil na mBan TG4 Dé Sathairn an 21 Iúil – Craobhchomórtas Pheil na mBan TG4 Dé Sathairn an 28 Iúil – Craobhchomórtas Pheil na mBan TG4 Dé Luain an 6 Lúnasa –Cluiche Ceathrú Ceannais Chraobhchomórtas Pheil na mBan TG4 (Le cinntiú) Dé Domhnaighan12 Lúnasa – Cluiche Ceathrú Ceannais Chraobhchomórtas Pheil na mBan Pheil na mBan TG4 Dé Sathairn an 18 Lúnasa – Cluiche Leathcheannais Chraobhchomórtas Pheil na mBan TG4 Dé Sathairn an 25 Lúnasa – Cluiche Leathcheannais Chraobhchomórtas Pheil namBanTG4 (Le cinntiú) Dé Domhnaigh an16 Meán Fómhair – Cluichí Ceannais Pheil na mBan TG4 Share this Article 0 0
