Wexford woman receives lifetime achievement award for her contribution to camogie

The GPA Lifetime Achievement Award is a prestigious award presented by the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) and recognises the exceptional contributions of legendary inter-county players to Gaelic football, hurling, and the wider society. Margaret Leacy was named at wing back on the Camogie Team of the Century in 2004. From the Buffers Alley club, she won three All-Ireland senior titles with her county in 1968 and 1969 and then again in 1975. She is also the holder of 4 All-Ireland club titles, three with her home club and one with Eoghan Ruadh in Dublin while she played with them. She is also the holder of eight Gael Linn interprovincial medals and was selected as the Gaelic All Star Player of the Year in 1968. Her daughters Mary and Úna also won the O'Duffy Cup with Wexford. A representative on behalf of Oulart The Ballagh Club said they were thrilled that Margaret was being acknowledged for her role as a trailblazer. "What a special day it was in Croke Park. Margaret Leacy, a legend in the game of Camogie, was awarded with the GPA Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her extraordinary contribution to camogie, her club, and county,' they said. "Margaret has played a huge part of both Oulart - The Ballagh Camogie Club and Oulart - The Ballagh GAA Club. She has been hugely influential on our past and present players. She continued to be part of team management of all different age groups over the years. While also serving on both Camogie and GAA committees. We are forever grateful and appreciative of the years of hard work and dedication that Margaret has given to us as a club. Still to this day, Margaret is still in our pitch most evening watching and encouraging the next generation at games and trainings.' "Well deserved Margaret and congrats from all at Oulart The Ballagh Camogie Club and Wexford Camogie,' they added.
