A recent research survey carried about by State of the Nation of behalf of Lidl Ireland, revealed that female secondary student participation is flourishing with 50% stating they currently play sport compared to 39% in 2017, highlighting that the focus on promoting women’s sport such as Lidl’s partnership with the LGFA has had a positive impact.
