Women's football

Does this still go on? I remember a few years ago they used to have an 'All Ireland' for it - more to appease than anything I think. Equality and all that. It was fierce stuff - a no contact sport and allowed to pick the ball off the ground. Very unedifying altogether but I think some counties did alright in that they won 'All Irelands' when their men's teams wouldn't get a sniff. I don't think they play it any more and have gone back to basketball and rounders and cooking and things. Thank goodness.
