See pictures as mothers – and others – take to the football fields in sunny Bray
The growth of the Gaelic4Mothers&Others (G4MO) initiative, introducing ladies football to mothers – and, of course, others – has been a wholly positive development in Gaelic Games in recent years. It has helped women to re-engage with football, or continue with it for longer than they had expected. It has also introduced the game and new friends to some new recruits, including members of our community who are not originally from these shores. Its burgeoning popularity was on full show at Bray Emmets last week when the club hosted the movement's South Leinster Blitz. David Barry – who coaches G4MO at Bray Emmets – told this newspaper that 32 teams took part on the Saturday before last across 10 pitches. Bray were far from the sole Wicklow representatives, even within the Emmets' group; Ashford were also in their group, but many other clubs from the county also took part.
