Saturday Night...Citywest...Ladies Football All Stars..

Over 900 guests are due to arrive in Citywest Hotel on Saturday evening for the Annual O’Neills/TG4 Ladies Gaelic Football All Star Awards 2011.

Once again, two of the nation’s favourites, Marty Morrissey and Daithí O’Sé will be taking charge of proceedings. Those who have had the pleasure of attending a Ladies Football All Star night in previous years will agree that the entertainment on the night never disappoints.

Apart from the last few ‘lastminute.com’ guests the dresses and tuxedos will have been bought, the hair and make- up appointments booked for Saturday morning and the Babysitters booked for Saturday night.

With the new addition of Players’ Player of the year there is added excitement to the 2011 All Star night.

For those of you who won’t be present in Citywest on Saturday night, you can follow that action on our Twitter page @LadiesFootball. A full report on the night will be available on www.ladiesgaelic.ie on Sunday morning.
