Covid-19 Update: Please remain vigilant and consider the fears of the most vulnerable in our community. The club and all its members remain in a position where we must set good example by following the procedures published by the GAA and the club. This starts with basic good hygiene. Wash your hands; clean all surfaces and be careful with anything you share.
Return to play: 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.

Skills and Fitness retention for all our youth: Thank you to all our members and their families for continuing to keep fit and practice your football skills. Special mention to our many coaches who sent out challenges and skills drills. We’ll all agree it kept us motivated and connected to our team mates and club. Well done everyone.
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.
Lotto: The club Lotto will resume next 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. Please get behind the lotto again as it’s the single most important income for the club.
