Cork's All-Ireland winning camogie captain Anna Geary says the setting up of a Women's Gaelic Players Association (WGPA) was long overdue.

The WGPA will be formally launched today and Geary told The Irish Times: "It's been a long time coming, and a lot of hard work has gone into it.

"Really, it's something that should have been there years ago, but thankfully it's finally making strides.

"It's going to be much like the GPA, that is currently in place (for the men's intercounty game).

"It's about providing support and putting structures in place for senior players across the country, so that it betters the experience for them and it betters the experience for the supporters of the game."
