Press Release issued on behalf of Munster LGFA

Code of Behaviour – Underage Level

NEW CODE OF BEHAVIOUR LAUNCHED FOR THOSE INVOLVED AT UNDERAGE LEVEL

The new Code of Behaviour (Underage), highlights the levels of behaviour that the LGFA seeks from those who are playing, coaching, officiating or attending our underage games.

Packed with 10 different sections the Code of Behaviour (Underage) has been updated to reflect recent child safeguarding legislative requirements that are now enshrined in our Rules and in the day to day organising of our games.

Sections include guidance on maintaining appropriate levels of behaviour when working with children and young people, how to promote the Code and also deal with breaches of the Code, useful guidance on recruiting coaches and managers for underage teams, how to plan away trips, the Club child safeguarding statement, dealing with bullying of children and young people, social media guidance and how to report any concerns or allegations of abuse.

The Code of Behaviour (Underage) applies to all of the Gaelic Games Associations – Ladies Football, GAA, Camogie, Handball and Rounders – and may be downloaded at:

Huge congratulations to Kerry’s Sarah Houlihan who has received her third TG4 All Star award at the Awards Banquet at the City West Hotel tonight.

Houlihan had previously won All Stars in 2012 and 2013 in the right half forward position, but this time she has been picked at left corner forward.

Houlihan was outstanding for Kerry in both the league and championship, and had one of her best ever seasons in the green and gold jersey.

Aislinn Desmond was also one of 3 players nominated in the full back position.

A home tie against Wexford is next up on the 3rd March while 2 weeks later they will also be at home for the visit of Cavan on 16th March. A week later on 24th February Kerry will make the long journey north to play Armagh, and 2 weeks later on the 7th April they have another long journey to make when they travel to play Tyrone. 

The semi finals of the competition are fixed for the 20th/21st April and the final will take place on the 5th May.
