Sympathies & support:
We continue to offer our thoughts, prayers and support for all families in our club and our community dealing with sickness and bereavement at this time.
Lotto: 5-7-9-10. 10 match 3 winners get £10 each. Next Draw Mon 20th July. No Lotto next week. Jackpot: £2100
The club Lotto resumed last Monday (6th of July). Lotto sellers will be back out and about and lotto books will be in all the local shops. For those still uncertain about buying face to face lotto tickets we will have an online option available on the club website (coming soon). Please get behind the lotto again as it’s the single most important income for the club.
Last man Standing:
Round 9 has just over 20 still standing. With less teams to pick from it’s getting exciting!! Make sure your selections are in early. Good luck everyone and thanks for your support.
Covid-19 Update: The pathway in our return to play remains precarious. We remind all players and members to keep up to date with their health questionnaire confirmation before every training. Wash your hands as often as possible, help to sanitise all equipment, adhere to club recommended procedures. Please consider others.
Return to play: REMINDER: ALL adult players and members MUST:
1. Achieve a certificate by completing this e-learning module. U18 players/members will be covered by their parents cert but anyone entering club grounds or activities must have completed the cert. It’s simple reading and will take around 20mins. https://learning.gaa.ie/covid19learning. Once completed you can screen shot your certificate and send it to your team covid supervisor via whatsapp.
2. All members will be asked to complete a Health Questionnaire (now available on gaa.ie; click return to play). Some issues have been reported so be patient and be prepared to try and complete a couple of times. Responsibility is with the individual or parent to notify the respective team covid supervisor should their health condition change.http://returntoplay.gaa.ie/
The onus in the successful and safe return to play is very much with our members. A responsible and diligent approach to how we continue to contain the covid-19 virus will ensure safety and good health for all and will allow the path to some kind of normality to continue.

Special mention to Mari Mc Donnell for her fantastic promotion of Scór disciplines recently. A huge response through facebook suggesting the music/trad/scór family is well and thriving in the village. Thanks also to all who sent in clips; your talent is unbelievable and appreciated. Maith sibh.
Sean Anton has been social shielding through the covid epidemic but with some light at the end of the tunnel a class is being planned for sept along side the possibility of a zoom class. Please contact Seán Antón Ó Conalláin on 07709714100 or saconlon15@hotmail.co.uk to register your interest.
Health and Well Being: We can be very proud of how the club was represented in the community efforts and we can now hopefully look forward to the Health and well being committee delivering the self care plans they had set out previous to the lock down.
