The Club grounds open today after along 3 and a half months of being shut. On the safe return of our players and coaching teams , each member has to complete a mandatory Covid 19 Safe Return to Games Module which has to be returned to the Teams Covid Officer, Ger Downes or Ger Corkery. There is also a Health Questionnaire to be completed. Going forward no player from underage to adult level will be allowed train or play unless above course is complete.
