Report

In the warm-up to the World Cup in London, England, in July and August 2018, the Ireland Womens International Hockey Team played a series of friendly games in Spain, Scotland and Germany as well as two series at home in preparation for the World Cup.

In Benalmadena in February, Ireland split a four game series with Spain, winning two and losing two, before heading to Glasgow in May and June, where they won all three matches against Scotland.

After a couple of training games against England in June they returned home to play a three game series against Canada in Pembroke Wanderers, Dublin, drawing the second but losing the first game.

They then travelled to Germany at the end of June, splitting a two-game series with Germany, and drawing with Canada before finishing off the friendly series with a win and two losses at home against Japan in Cork.

A 3 Nations Series against Chile and Italy in Dublin at the end of the friendly series was the last of the preparation matches.

CONIFA European Football Cup Group Results 2017 [Reference: 2]

Report

Padania won the CONIFA European Football Cup in 2017, defeating the hosts Northern Cyprus on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Irish interest in the competition came in the form of Ellan Vannin, the Manx name for the Isle of Man, and one of six Celtic Nations in Europe.

Padania is an alternative name for the once-Celtic region of Northern Italy around the Pado Valley, including Veneto, Trentino, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Vallee d’Aoste, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Piedmont, all f whom have significant Friulian, German, or French-speaking minorities.

Szekely Land, Karpatalya, and Felvidek are the Hungarian names for the Hungarian-speaking minority areas of Romania, Ukraine, and Slovakia respectively.

Northern Cyprus is an Independent Turkish-speaking country recognised only by Turkey. South Ossetia and Abkhazia are independent, once minority-areas of Georgia, that are recognised only by Rissia and its allies such as Venezuela and Nicaragua.

About

Euro XIII is a new European Professional Rugby League Cup, operating mostly in the non-traditional Rugby League areas of Europe. Dublin Blues will compete with teams from Edinburgh (Scotland), Rhonnda (Wales), Birmingham (England) as well as 12 other teams from Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Turkey and Moldova.

Dublin Blues are Ireland’s oldest Rugby League team, founded by Brian Corrigan in 1989, and who won the inaugural Grand Final in 1997 in Rugby League Ireland, defeating Tallaght Tigers, and also that year becoming the first Irish side to compete in Rugby League’s Challenge Cup in Britain.

In 2008 the club folded, but were intending to come back last year as an outfit playing in the English Leagues, although the prospect of an Irish team playing all their games on the road put them off and with the new Euro XIII Cup the working group set about entering and have so far signed up two Irish internationals and a Head Coach.

Report

The Irish Rugby Football Union introduced the All-Ireland League as a level above the Provincial Leagues in 1991-92.

Limerick Clubs dominated play during the first decade of the League, with Garryowen (1991-92 and 1993-94) and Young Munster (1992-93) winning the first three, before another Limerick club, Shannon, won four in a row from 1994-95 to 1997-98.

The AIL then introduced a knockout Top Four Playoff system in 1998-99.

Report

Linda Holland was born in Cork before moving to Perth, Western Australia in 2009. She started playing American Football there and in 2013 when the Legends Football League came to Australia she jumped at the opportunity to play Professional American Football. Even though the League has garnered criticism for the tiny shorts and crop tops the players wear (at first they played in Lingerie but that was changed after sexism claims) Linda said it was an honour to represent her country, describing herself as “Irish by birth, Irish by grace of God”. [1]

The Western Australia Angels reached the Final in 2013-14, losing 36-15 to NSW Surge.[8] They had qualified for the Legends Cup by finishing second in the four team league with a 2-2 record, losing in Week 1, 26-32 to the Victoria Maidens, before winning the next two against NSW Surge, 20-18 in Week 3, and 41-0 against Queensland Brigade in Week 5. They surprisingly lost their last regular season match 26-19 in the return match with Queensland, but made the Legends Cup Final on head-to-head.

The Lingerie Football League was a Ladies 7v7 Indoor Gridiron (American Football) League that started as an alternative to the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2004. The Ladies played with very little in terms of protective clothing. The League was criticized as sexist, although in 2013 the lingerie was replaced with bicycle shorts and crop-tops, changing its name to the Legends Football League in the process.

In 2012-13 LFL Global introduced a four-team League in Canada, which lost its broadcasting rights after one season, and was replaced by another four team league in Australia, which again only lasted one season.
