JUST GOT BACK TO TOWN LAST NITE , ONE OF THE GIRLS IN THE HOUSE HAD A BIT OF BAD NEWS RE HER CLUBS FIRST TEAM , BOHS LADIES , SHE RECKONS THEY HAVE DISBANDED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS GREAT TEAM OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS HAS LEFT AND SO HAVE A FEW OF THE PLAYERS . ANY ONE ANY NEWS ON THE SCEAL , I SAW THEM PLAY TWICE LAST YEAR AND THOUHT THEY WERE A VERY GOOD LADIES TEAM .SAD NEWS IF THIS IS TRUE , AS THEY WERE KEEING THE BOHS NAME FLYING HIGH WHILE THE MENS TEAMS WERE FALTERING .

Hopfully this post will cause a positive reaction , from what I hear its a lot more than the manager gone , top players gone according to members of Bohs some to Salthill . From what the gang were sying to me , there will be a team there , but nothing like the fine side there over the last number of years .One of the main driving forces behind and part of this team , Lorraine Darcy is also supposedly retired after many years of great work .
So maybe the fact this is up and being discussed might awaken the interest in the club .
Any promotion work being done on the womens game scene here ?

Is this the same woman who was rep for womens soccer who ignored all calls about a certain final few months back. all her great work good one

In fairness to the woman she answered my call and filled me in on the situation as it stood.............but to be honest guest10 there was more to that saga than met the eye?????

ONE PLAYER DOES NOT MAKE A TEAM

BOHS HAVE NOT DISBANDED
THEIR HEADS HAVE JUST EXPANDED... AND THEY CAN'T SEE PAST THEIR OWN GLORY.

WHILE LADIES SOCCER IS GROWING COUNTRY WIDE, IT SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING IN GALWAY... WHY?

POOR STRUCTURE... NO STRUCTURE! WHAT HAS THE GALWAY FA DONE FOR LADIES SOCCER, IT HAS ONLY SUPPORTED THE TWO BIG CLUBS IN THE MODERN AGE OF TECHNOLOGY, COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN FAIR POOR TO SAY THE LEAST....

Jaysus your my kind of fairy Tinky .......spit it out , say what you tink , no holds barred!!!

The forum is a great way to express and articulate all these concerns, and I am in complete agreement with points being raised but I believe that affirmative action is now required from all other clubs if we want to build a successful ladies league for the future Otherwise in its present format it will become a one team league, there are enough committed people out there to organise this shambles once and for all and show them that we can have a strong, organised league!

Bohs ladies will be called Mervue soon enough i predict

Only work that was done would only benefit herself. There was alot more involved than just two women setting up womens soccer in galway. Did Maria Lawton deserve how she was treated last year there was a witch hunt to get her out. She deserved better than that

Steady on my sporting friends. The title of the the fourm is "Bohs Ladies 2009 RIP" and I would think this is far from the truth, regardless of who has left.....

PEOPLE COME AND PEOPLE WILL GO -BUT SPORT WILL GO ON FOREVER. TO ENSURE THAT WE DO NOT DESTROY LADIES SOCCER FOR THE NEXT GENERATION, IT IS UP TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF US TO COME TOGETHER AND TALK AND WORK THE PROBLEM OUT, MAKE THE LEAGUE STRONGER AND DON'T LET THE BIG CLUBS DICTATE THE RULES.

STATATICS SHOW THAT FOR EVERY 1000 GIRL SOCCER PLAYERS IN IRELAND ONLY 1 WILL MAKE THE SENIOR IRISH INTERNATIONAL TEAM. DREAMS DO COME TRUE BUT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PUT YOUR CLUB FIRST.

Tinky , is it true that clubs get a grant from the Govn. for having a ladies team and if so would this not be a huge incentive for clubs to start one up?????

Hey Buddie,

Start up a brand new club?? Interesting idea....

but is seems impossible to hold on to what we have....

tell me more.....

Tinky , when i was involved with T.C i was inundated with requests from 15 , 16 yr old girls to start a ladies team. The interest was there and i remember the Sec once telling me you got 5000 grant if you had a ladies team. I know the new sec, wife of founder member of club is supposedly looking into starting next season, hopefully it wont be put on long finger!!!!
Also the Corofin ladies football team (gaa) would be ideal candidates as the club is one of the fastest growing and one of the main clubs in contention for success at underage in the future.
I think your league needs more publicity and more airwaves , because there are no reasons why primarily mens clubs , could not have a ladies team , the way foward and if im right 5000 richer.....To hold the interest you would want 6-8 committed clubs in your league. Not a big a task as first appears......contact all mens clubs sec"s , with the idea of a ladies league , properely ran and , let Salthill and Bohs go further afield if desired???

All Members

We are in a position to do something positive now with this cos it seems to me that people do care:!: and that is a great starting point.

I agree completely about the lack of publicity but there are enough local outlets available like the advertiser and Galway Bay whom would only be too glad to cover the ladies league, all that needs to be done is to send reports to them.

But:no: are we prepared to meet as suggested and devise a way to ensure that we have a league for the coming season in whatever format that may take? Last season cannot be repeated, it was definately a case of our representatives having a conflict of interest when it came to footballing matters:|

Told ye Bohs no more, they have up sticks and gone to mervue Official

No way, I don't believe it??? Is this really true?

So it is Bohs Ladies RIP ..... Another one bites the dust
Why the move?
