The Open College teams up with St Anne’s GAA Mothers & Others
St. Anne’s Mothers and Others team is made up of women of all ages from Tallaght and surrounding areas, who are passionate about sport and are committed to representing their community on and off the field.
St Anne’s Grace Hilliard said: “Our team is made up of ladies from varying age groups and walks of life and while our lives can be so different, every Tuesday we come together on the pitch. Whether you haven’t played before or haven’t played in years, there is always a spot for you on the team, and if nothing else it’s an hour to yourself! We are so proud of the unity it has brought to St Anne’s GAA and we appreciate The Open College recognising how beneficial our team is and for supporting us”.
