St Brigid’s Gaelic 4 Mothers & Others launch fundraising campaign for New York trip next October

St. Brigid’s Gaelic 4 Mothers and Others (G4M&O) are swapping the hills of Leitrim for the skyscrapers of Manhattan this October! In what is being described as a "once in a lifetime opportunity," the team has been officially selected to represent the County at the prestigious Festival of Football in New York.

Since its formation in 2022, St. Brigid’s G4M&O, representing the proud communities of Aughawillan, Drumreilly, and Aughnasheelin has become a powerhouse of community spirit. What started as a way to stay active has evolved into a vibrant sisterhood, proving that it is never too late to put on the boots, learn new skills, and represent your jersey with pride.

Now, the stakes are higher than ever. Twenty-four dedicated players have committed to the journey, flying the Leitrim flag on an international stage. While the players are self-funding their travel in a remarkable show of commitment, the team is now seeking the support of the wider community and local businesses to help them get there in style.

"This isn't just about a football tournament," the group shared. "It’s about showcasing the strength, resilience, and heart of rural Ireland. We are a team of mothers, sisters, and friends who have found a new lease of life through the GAA, and we want to show New York exactly what Leitrim women are made of!"

To ensure the team is fully equipped for the Big Apple, from gear and kits to tournament costs St. Brigid’s G4M&O is looking for sponsors and community partners to join them on this journey. Whether you are a local business looking for international exposure or a supporter who wants to see the girls succeed, every bit of help makes a massive impact.

This is a chance to be part of a unique success story. Let’s make sure that when St. Brigid’s G4M&O marches into New York, they have the full weight of the county behind them!
