Football, Fun and FITbug at the Leinster G4MO Blitz
June 10, 2019
Saturday 8 June saw 20 teams from across Leinster descend on St Peregrines GAA, Co. Dublin for the first Leinster Gaelic4Mothers&Others Blitz of 2019. Teams travelled from Meath, Offaly, Laois, Kilkenny, Kildare and Dublin to take part in a fun day of football.
FITbug kicked things off with a fun mass warm up to loosed the muscles and set the atmosphere for the day. St Peregrines played fantastic hosts with games played across 4 pitches.
With a number of new teams participating, GAelic4Mothers&Others allows new players who have never played Ladies Gaelic Football before to mix with other players getting back into the game and leads to a great sense of camaraderie and fun.
Thanks to our fantastic referees on the day who officiated the games; Shannon and Jess (Na Fianna), Amy, Aoibhinn and Niamh (Erin go Bragh), Emma and Charlie (St Peregrines) and Leinster LGFA referees Finbarr Shanahan and Derek McKittrick who were on hand to support our young up and coming referees of the future.
Thanks must go too to FITbug for their energetic warm up, St Johns Ambulance for dealing with any injuries, Leinster LGFA officials for coorindating the pitches keeping the day running to time, the local photograph club for capturing the skills on show and not least to St Peregrines for their hard work and hospitality in hosting the event.
We look forward now to the second Leinster G4MO Blitz of 2019 which will be held at Navan O Mahony's (Co. Meath) in July where we look forward to welcoming a further 36 teams. Entry will also be opening soon for the National G4MO Blitz on Saturday 5 October, and teams should keep an eye out on the LGFA website and social media for entry details over the coming months.
