Women in Sport Week to take place in Offaly next month

Offaly Sports Partnership are currently planning for Women in Sport Week 2024, which takes place from March 2-10.

Similar to last year a programme of events is currently being planned, while other events will be sponsored as part of the Offaly Sports Partnership commitment to sport. It is hoped that, in future years, the range of activities will grow right across Offaly and will be taken up by all sports codes.

The following activities are already planned for Offaly Women in Sport Week:

•Research findings launch -“Coaching the Female Athlete: Special Considerations”

•Rugby – Offaly Secondary School rugby blitz in conjunction with Leinster Rugby

•Basketball – 3 v 3 inter school “street basketball” blitz for secondary school girls

•Athletics – The Pauline Curley Marathon Relay: 40 primary school girls to share the running of the marathon distance in Tullamore Harriers

•LGFA - Participation Blitz for primary school girls

•Social Basketball Tournament.

•Tullamore Golf Club – 14 hole betterball & 8/9 hole competition.

In addition to the above, if any Offaly clubs are interested in running activities throughout Women In Sport week, they are asked to let Offaly Sports Partnership know so they can assess if any additional support can be given.
