Sports Jerseys for Africa
Sr. De Lourdes from the Convent of Mercy is assisting with a project collecting old and used sports jerseys for distribution to teenagers in Africa. If you can spread the word, any and all old sports tops of any size (Gaelic or soccer) are welcome. Just drop them into the club please.
Gumshields
Now that all teams are back into full training after the Christmas break can we remind all players, mentors and parents that the wearing of gumshields is compulsory at all times in training and playing
Any player not wearing a gumshields runs the risk of being ordered off by a referee. All are reminded that gumshields are to be worn during training sessions and any footballer not wearing one is not covered by the GAA’s player insurance scheme.
The measure is also seen as a means of reducing the cost as well as the number of head and facial injuries in the scheme. As well as protecting teeth, mouthguards help prevent skull fractures as they absorb the impact on the outside and stop it from travelling through the nose to the skull. Mandatory mouthguards come into operation senior and U21 level from January 1, 2014
