The LGFA have led tributes to Brendan Martin, who has passed away aged 86.
The Offaly native, for whom the All-Ireland senior Ladies Football trophy is named, was the Association's first assistant treasurer, and a key figure in the development of the sport.
LGFA President Micheál Naughton described Martin as 'a visionary trail-blazer who was incredibly passionate about Ladies Gaelic Football.'
