We were excited to be at the launch of Cadbury Dairy Milk's #TheGameIsOn initiative promoting grassroots girls football in Ireland.
Senior member Sarah Gill was interviewed for the campaign and her team mates feature in the posters which you'll see displayed in our community as early as next week.
U15s Molly and Cara got to chat with Off The Ball host Nathan Murphy and Leixlip legend Emma Byrne of Arsenal Women and ROI. A big highlight was listening to Ian Wright who is passionate about the development of girls football - he even had some tips for our girls who were at the launch. He said it was important to work hard and commit to the team but also to have fun. Emma Byrne highlighted the importance of women role models in football and said that clubs should be watching out for potential female coaches coming up through the ranks as well as players.
