MMI Group Interprovincial Tournament - Squad Lists and Fixtures

2012 will be the second year of MMI Group sponsorship of the Ladies Gaelic Football Interprovincial Tournament. Once again each province has named a very strong squad for the competition so a highly competitive day can be expected. Despite horrific weather 2011 was so close that a 3 way penalty shoot out was needed to decide the pairings for the Shield and Cup finals.

Munster are reigning MMI Group Interprovincial Cup Champions after they overcame Ulster in the 2011 final with Connacht arriving to Kinnegad as 2011 Shield Champions.
