In an ever changing world, TG4\u2019s legendary GAA series Underdogs<\/strong> is back and for 2021 it\u2019s over to the Ladies! Are you a talented Ladies Gaelic footballer? Do you have what it takes to go head to head with one of the most skilled teams in the country?
\n 
\nAdare Productions and TG4 are looking to find a squad of ambitious women with enough drive, skill and passion to take on one of the country\u2019s greatest Ladies Gaelic football teams. Have you got what it takes to make that team and lead them to victory? Applications are now open!
\n 
\nUnderdogs<\/strong> has launched the careers of a number of All-Ireland champions, not least Kerry powerhouse Kieran Donaghy and Cork\u2019s Pearse O\u2019Neill. Could this be your chance? The players will be chosen by a panel of expert selectors who make up the management team. This year will also see a fresh face stepping up to the sideline.
