The Launch of the Donegal Women’s League Winter League was held on Monday in Bonagee with a large representation from the clubs in attendance along with executive members of the Donegal Women’s League and FAI’s Brian Dorrian and Shane Barr.
This initiative will cement a pathway for successful underage leagues to continue playing into their adult lives.
Currently the Donegal Women’s League have large numbers playing in U8 to U16, with a massive drop off thereafter.
The Donegal Women’s league in the past was a very competitive league with teams like Letterkenny Rovers, Kilmacrennan Celtic and Lagan Harps winning national honours in the FAI Intermediate Cup.
The plan is to grow the Winter League into a successful summer league by gradually increasing playing numbers and teams.
Expression of interest went out to clubs within the Donegal Junior League which had a positive response.
Clubs entering this season are Bonagee Utd, Cappry Rovers, Deele Harps, Drumbar Utd, Fanad Utd, Finn Valley Ladies FC, Kildrum Tigers, Lagan Harps, Letterkenny Rovers, Raphoe Town.
