Why Ladies Footballers deserve far more recognition

Ladies Footballers have to put in the same effort as men to get the highest level in their sport but they rarely get the same recognition for it.

Which is why it's good to get the conversation going on the matter. Rory O'Connor decided to use his Rory's Stories Facebook Page (usually only reserved for his comedy sketches) to draw attention to the hard work being put in by these athletes, using his club mate and Meath Ladies Footballer Michelle Pill as an example.

The video has over 2,500 shares on Facebook to date since it was posted yesterday evening.

Fair play to Rory for putting the message out there. While it by no means makes up for the level of inequality between the sexes within the game, it's definitely a step in the right direction.
