Martin McGinn & Sons Fuels proudly sponsors Rostrevor GAA's Gaelic4Mothers & Others Team
Martin McGinn & Sons Fuels proudly sponsors Rostrevor GAA's Gaelic4Mothers & Others (G4MO) team, a fun, non-competitive program encouraging local women to get active and build friendships through Gaelic football. With new jerseys sponsored by Martin & Mona McGinn, the team strengthens community bonds while representing Rostrevor GAA.
The Gaelic4Mothers & Others initiative, launched nationally by the LGFA, is a recreational and fun-focused program designed to introduce women to Gaelic football in a non-competitive environment. Open to women who may have never played football before, this initiative emphasises participation, enjoyment, and community spirit. It's a great opportunity for women to become more active while fostering friendships and new connections. Events such as the National Blitz Days bring together participants from across the country, highlighting the inclusiveness and joy the sport brings to so many.
This year, Martin McGinn & Sons Fuels has proudly stepped forward as the sponsor of Rostrevor GAA's Gaelic4Mothers & Others (G4MO) team. Established in 1972, Martin McGinn & Sons Fuels has been a trusted supplier of home heating fuels in the Newry & Mourne area for over five decades. Owners, Martin & Mona McGinn are committed not only to providing excellent service but also to supporting local community initiatives. Their sponsorship has provided the team with brand-new jerseys, symbolising the growing connection between local businesses and community-based sports
AnnMarie Higgins, a coach & player of the G4MO team, shared her thoughts on the importance of the program: "The G4MO team has been such a blessing for many local women. It allows us to engage in physical activity in a supportive and non-competitive way, while also building new friendships. Many of us might never have crossed paths if not for this initiative. It's so much more than football – it's about community, well-being, and belonging. The team encourages mothers to bring their children along to training and matches if they can’t find childcare, ensuring no one misses out."
She also expressed her gratitude to the McGinn family: "We're incredibly thankful to Martin & Mona for their generous support. The sponsorship of our new jerseys has really helped us feel united as a team and proud to represent Rostrevor GAA and our community. It means the world to us to have local businesses backing us like this."
With the support of businesses like Martin McGinn & Sons Fuels, the Gaelic4Mothers & Others initiative continues to thrive, offering a unique and enriching experience for women across many communities across the country.
