About Us
Swinford Killasser LGFA was born from a simple idea: that the young women of two neighbouring parishes in East Mayo deserved a club of their own.
Drawing players from both Swinford and Killasser, the club set out to provide and develop ladies Gaelic football from the very youngest age groups through to the adult grade. What started as a handful of dedicated volunteers and eager players has grown into one of the most active LGFA clubs in Mayo.
The club caters for every level — from U6 girls taking their first solo to the senior panel competing for county honours. Beyond the white lines, Swinford Killasser LGFA has built something deeper: a network that supports its female players through each step on life's journey. Friendships forged at training on winter evenings. Mentors found in coaches. Confidence built one match at a time.
For over sixteen years, the club has been centrally involved in the development of Swinford Amenity Park — managing a community lotto that has helped fund one of the finest ladies football facilities in Connacht. The park hosted multiple Connacht LGFA finals in 2025 and will do so again in 2026, putting Swinford on the map as a destination for the women's game in the west of Ireland.
Beyond the physical benefits gained through sport, we have developed huge social networks which bond and support our female players through each step on their life's journey.Swinford Killasser LGFA

Swinford Amenity Park
Swinford Amenity Park is one of the only Gaelic football grounds in Ireland developed with ladies football as its primary focus. The park also caters for athletics and is a cornerstone of sporting life in the Swinford and Killasser area.
Built and maintained through over 16 years of community lotto fundraising and volunteer effort, the park represents everything the club stands for: ambition, self-reliance, and a commitment to providing the best facilities for its players.
In 2025, the park was selected by Connacht LGFA to host multiple provincial finals — and will do so again in 2026. This recognition places Swinford alongside much larger centres as a premier venue for the women's game in the west of Ireland.
