Oughterard ladies reached the semi-final of the intermediate cup at the Lidl Comórtas Peile Páidí Ó Sé 2025, the famed club ladies and men’s Gaelic football tournament, which took place all across the Dingle Peninsula over the weekend.
Oughterard competed in the six team intermediate ladies cup and were up against Templemore of Tipperary in the first round. It was a tight game which the Galway girls led by 1-2 to 1-1 at half time. They pushed on in the second half with a goal coming from Rosie McGauley to help a victory on a scoreline of 2-6 to 1-3.
Next up was against local side Corca Dhuibhne and it was the West Kerry ladies that dominated leaving the scores at half time 3-2 to 0-2. Oughterard could not get a foot hold in the match and the Kerry girls continued to dominate in the windy conditions and came out on top by 4-4 to 0-5. The final was eventually won by Kerry’s Clounmacon / Moyvane.
16 counties from the four provinces of Ireland took part in the 36th edition of the Lidl Comórtas Peile Páidí Ó Sé, with 28 adult men’s and ladies club teams coming for a weekend of competitive football and social events including popular Irish band Super Céilí at Páidí Ó Sé’s pub in Ventry, West Kerry.
The football festival, which was founded by eight-time All-Ireland winner Páidí Ó Sé, is supported by Lidl Ireland, EJ Menswear, Kerry County Council Tourism Unit, Medel Healthcare, Dooctor.ie, Fáilte Ireland and Údarás na Gaeltachta, and has attracted over 30,000 club players since it was founded in 1989.
Comórtas Chairman, Pádraig Óg Ó Sé said; “A big thanks to Oughterard for coming down and also they conducted themselves very well. We were gifted with great weather conditions and luckily there were no injuries of note to report over the weekend. We thank all our title sponsor Lidl who are a key driver of the growth of Ladies Gaelic games in Ireland through their LGFA sponsorship. They contribute every year to the vision my father had, which was to promote the club game and also to attract people to the beautiful Dingle Peninsula.”
