Three of Donegal's best are in Austin, Texas, for the 2023 TG4/LGFA All-Star tour.

38 of the game’s leading stars are making the trip to the US, with this tour rescheduled after it was postponed in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The local Celtic Cowboys will host the traditional exhibition game between the 2021 and 2022 All Star selections, which will be played at St Edward’s University. Termon's Geraldine McLaughlin will line out for the 2021 side against the 2022 team who have her sister Nicole and last year's TG4 Players' Player of the Year, Donegal captain Niamh McLaughlin- no relation - from Moville.

The game, which can be viewed here, will be live-streamed on the Spórt TG4 YouTube page, with coverage getting underway from 2:20pm local time (8:20pm Irish time), ahead of throw-in at 2:30pm local time (8:30pm Irish time).

The 2021 selection will be managed by former Meath supremo Eamonn Murray, who guided the Royal County to TG4 All-Ireland Senior championship glory in 2021 and 2022, with Kerry joint-manager Darragh Long taking charge of the 2022 team.

The match will be overseen by Cavan’s Maggie Farrelly, formerly of Glenfin, one of the most experienced whistlers on the circuit and referee for the 2014 and 2022 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship Finals.
