Tipperary woman and 2FM presenter Roz Purcell will broadcast live from the blitz on Saturday
The scene is set for the biggest and best ever Gaelic4Mothers&Others national blitz, sponsored by Sports Direct.
On this Saturday, September 16, it’s anticipated that almost 3,000 women will travel to the Naomh Mearnóg and St Sylvester’s clubs in Dublin for what promises to be another memorable day.
138 teams, including three from Tipperary, have signed up for a jam-packed day of football, fun and entertainment, with Gaelic4Mothers&Others clubs from all over the country relishing the chance to get together and play games in a non-competitive and fun environment.
The Tipperary clubs who will participate are Clonoulty/Rossmore, Ardfinnan and Ballyporeen.
Sports Direct, as sponsors of the Gaelic4Mothers&Others programme, have teamed up with social media sensation Annalivia Hynds, who has been training with Armagh Harps ahead of the event.
Teams will start to register from 10.30am, with the eagerly-anticipated mass-warm up scheduled for 11.30am on the Naomh Mearnóg Astroturf.
Games on 23 pitches are set to commence at 12pm and after the final games throw in at 3.30pm, live music will commence.
A silent disco and the Sports Direct zone will be other attractions on the day, while the 2FM Roadcaster will be on site, with popular afternoon radio presenter, Tipperary woman Roz Purcell, bringing a flavour of the event into homes across the country.
The LGFA was fully subscribed once again for this event, with a large number of teams on a waiting list.
The Sports Direct Gaelic4Mothers&Others programme is an innovative way to introduce mothers and other women to ladies Gaelic football in a fun, non-competitive and social environment.
The initiative has proven immensely popular since its inception, with over 500 clubs across all 32 counties currently involved.
