TO celebrate this year's 40th All-Ireland Ladies' Senior Football final at Croke Park, scheduled for September 29, the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association has issued an invitation to every player that represented their county in the All-Ireland final to attend the special anniversary game.
The Association, which first met at Hayes Hotel in Thurles in 1974, has requested players to contact their county boards or the LGFA directly and Ladies' Football president Pat Quill said: "This is an extremely significant year for the LGFA as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of our foundation. "During our relatively short history we have seen some amazing achievements on the field, some of which may have faded in the memory as time passes. "This is an opportunity to relive some of those great moments and to put the focus back on some of the great teams and players that have pioneered the sport. "We hope to have as many of our All-Ireland finalists back in Croke Park on September 29 and I would urge all of the former players to get in touch with us and if any of them have any photographs or memorabilia that they would like to share then that would be all the better."
