Fermanagh forward, Bláithín Bogue, is set for a trip Down Under after she was the fourth GAA player to be signed by North Melbourne Kangaroos in the AFLW.
The Kangaroos reached the 2023 Grand Final losing out to Brisbane.
The Tempo player will join Vikki Wall, Erika O'Shea and Niamh Martin with North Melbourne AFLW list manager, Flynn Loft saying it was exciting for Bogue to be offered the final list spot for the club for the upcoming season.

We've signed the 23-year-old from @FermanaghGAA to our final list spot for the 2024 @aflwomens season.

"Blaithin has strong athletic traits that will translate well to AFLW and stood out across her performances for Fermanagh, with her ability to set up play in the forward half and consistently hit the scoreboard.
"We can't wait to welcome her into the program."
Bogue has been an influential and ever-present figure for Fermanagh in recent years and was named the 2022 Junior Players' Player of the Year and made the Junior Team of the Year in 2023.
She is the second Fermanagh player to play AFL following Joanne Doonan's stint in Australia laying for Carlton and Essendon.
