DUBS SHOULD SUPPORT THEIR LADIES - AND PARK RESPONSIBLY!
Saturday September 26th 2009
The Dublin sporting public should come out in support of the Dublin Ladies Gaelic Football team in tomorrow's TG4 All-Ireland final. It is particularly important in an era where female sports are given paltry service by the national media, that positive female role-models are promoted by sporting families - research continually points to an increasing obesity crisis amongst children and particularly amongst young girls.
The Dublin Ladies team work as hard as their male counterparts without the commercial recognition and therefore they deserve a bumper Dublin crowd to cheer them on. However it is also key that supporters driving to the game park responsibly as games with smaller attendances cause the most parking problems around the stadium.
I wish the Dublin Ladies and their manager Gerry Magill every success in tomorrow's final.
