As with previous return to training, the key control measures remain completion of the online education module (courses.gaa.ie/Covid19ClubEd/#/) if it wasn’t completed last year and completion of the Health Questionnaire (returntoplay.gaa.ie/) before each session. ALL coaches, admin, supervisors must ALSO complete this.

A Covid supervisor will be checking everyone in before each training session.

However strict social distancing and public health guidelines should be adhered to at all times.

After 11 weeks of competition our Last Person Standing came to a conclusion this weekend. The competition started with 263 players and was down to 4 Players this weekend. 3 players had chosen Brighton to defeat Sheffield Utd and the other player had gone for a Liverpool win over Newcastle Utd. Liverpool drew their game and Brighton failed to win against Sheffield Utd resulting in the top prize of €400 being shared by Philip Corrigan, Sean Kelly, Diarmuid O’Connor and PJ Rowan. Deidre O’Shea is our Last Lady Standing and also wins €100. Congratulations to all winners and a big thank you to the 263 players who supported this fundraising effort for St Pats

2020 Injury Fund Extension to 31 May 2021
Given that no activity has been possible for January to March 2021 a further two-month extension of Injury Fund cover has been ratified by Coiste Bainistíochta. This will now take the 2020 cover term up until 31 May 2021.
This means that the GAA Injury Benefit Fund cover remains in place based on existing 2020 team registrations. Units do not need to register or pay for their 2021 teams until re-invited to do so. Details with regards to registering and payment for the 2021 GAA Injury Benefit Fund will issue once there is more clarity from Government as to what the coming months may look like.
GAA National Club Draw
