Entries Open for this Year's National G4M&O Blitz!

We are delighted to announce details of our National Gaelic4Mothers &Others Blitz Day which will take place on the 15^th October in Naomh Mearnog GAA Club, Portmarnock, Dublin. The Blitz Day is completely recreational and all players and mentors are asked to treat the Blitz in a fun and fairplay manner.

 

This is not a day for competition and no scores will be recorded!

 

Due to increase in applications for the Blitz and limited playing space we have made the following changes to entry details:

 

• The Entry fee is €150 per Team.

• Panel sizes have been increased to a maximum of 20 players per team.  

• Entry is limited to one team per club. If space is available we will allocate a second team to clubs that are interested.

 

1. Please indicate on your form if you would like to be considered for a second team.

• Applications will not be processed without full payment.

 

 

Please note that NO PACKED LUNCHES will be provided on the day.

 

The day is planned to be family orientated with a festival atmosphere!  We encourage all teams to bring supporters and assist us with creating a great Family Day Out!  Gaelic4Mothers & Others title sponsors Lidl will also be present on the day and are working with us to make it a great event for all. We will be joined again by Ireland’s Mr Motivator, Richard Clifford for our signature Mass Warm Up and this year to keep us all entertained the 2FM Roadcaster will also be present.

 

The day is gearing up to be a fantastic event so please make sure to get your entry form in early!

 

Closing date for Entry forms (below) is the 16^th September 2016 and all forms should be submitted to the Ladies Gaelic Football Office in Croke Park.  Teams should also note that your Entry Form will not be accepted without the Entry Fee.  Entry Fees cannot be paid on the day of the Blitz.
