We asked, you answered.
Here at Her Towers we’re passionate about promoting women’s sport. Whether it’s on a camogie pitch, a basketball court or a hockey field, we love supporting Irish female sport stars.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with the team at Liberty Insurance to #SupportHerSport. As proud sponsors of both hurling and camogie, Liberty Insurance have launched a new initiative to get parents actively involved in their daughters’ sports, either as participants or spectators.
To celebrate the campaign, we asked you to send us your all-time favourite sporting moments – check out some of the best responses below.

Sport makes memories. From the first puck around in the garden with your mam and dad to Croke Park on the grandest day of them all, taking part is all that matters. Whether you’re a victor on the day or you live to fight another one, being part of the action is the greatest joy – from the smallest supporter to the most fearless captain.
Now, all roads lead to Croke Park for one of the biggest days of all. Be sure you’re there to catch it all as this year’s Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Camogie Championship Finals take place this coming Sunday, September 13th.
Make more memories and make a difference this weekend. Pledge to bring your daughter, niece, sister, cousin or mother to the final and show your support loud and proud for the ladies who work all year for nothing but the dream of taking it to the biggest stage.
As proud sponsor of both hurling and camogie, Liberty Insurance launched a new initiative this year, #SupportHerSport, to get parents actively involved in their daughters’ sports, either as participants or spectators.
