Close to breaking into top tier
The O Connor Cup is the top tier of Ladies Football and is regarded as a prestigious competition amongst the Third Level community and beyond. Here in SETU our Ladies Football team compete in the second tier competition, the Giles Cup, and having won back to back championships in 2017 and 2018 along with League titles, the club is certainly progressing well.
Katie Redmond, GAA Development Officer says. "The club has certainly come along way over the past couple of years and having won back to back championship titles in 2017 and 2018, it really highlights just how close SETU are to breaking into top tier that is O Connor Cup football."
Having won the quarter final against DCU on Wednesday, 27 February, the SETU players now look forward to a semi- final meeting with old rivals AIT at 5pm on 8 March. The other semi-final sees UUJ face MICL at 3pm.
“To date, the girls have showed great determination and commitment with excellent ground work being shown throughout the year,” adds Redmond.

We would also like to thank our sponsors UPMC Whitfield for their continued support.
