Stars line out for Dublin Ladies GAA Fashion Show

Dublin, 5th October 2012: Dublin Ladies GAA will be showing another side of themselves as they take to the catwalk for the biggest event in the player's social calendar. The worlds of sport and style will collide at the Dublin Ladies GAA Fashion Show, which takes place in the The Wright Venue, Swords, on Saturday 27th October.

GAA heroes Bernard Brogan, Paul Flynn, David Curtin and Shane Durkin will strut their stuff, alongside players from the Dublin Ladies under 14s, Under 16s, Minor and Senior teams as part of the fundraising event. Hosting the event is Joanne Cantwell, herself a former Dublin footballer and now highly regarded as the face of RTE Sports.

Another Irish fashion icon and presenter of RTE's ‘Off the Rails Live' , Sonya Lennon, will head up a guest panel of judges to find the winner of ‘Dublin's Next Top Model' and will also secretly scan the audience for ‘Best Dressed' during the event.
