A Belfast mum who has battled with a hidden disability has hailed a newly-formed football team for helping spark a taboo conversation.
Magz Mhartain, from the Whiterock area, joined Donegal Celtic Ladies FC two months ago. The team itself only started in May 2022, but is helping women, young and old, to make friends and to play football.
The football team ranges from women aged 14, right through to women in their 50s - and as they took to the field on Sunday, they celebrated a victory in winning their first game, and proudly wearing the sunflower, which promotes the hidden disabilities group.
