The club are back training in the last few weeks. Numbers are good and as always any member who wants to train, text Kevin Stapleton 0861797875 to be added to the text list. New members are also welcome.

The club are holding a mouse race night in the Saltee on the 28th of March. Live mice will be used and we would like to note that no mice will be harmed or injured in the event. Players and committee members will have race cards over the coming weeks and mice cost €5. Keep an eye out for more details.

Last man standing competition is starting this weekend. Full details are on our Facebook page and results will be updated weekly. Contact Nevan O’Sullivan or Kevin Stapleton for details.

Finally, there is lots of talk about our Facebook page lately. Great additions of player profiles going onto the page every few days and maybe a few Annacurra “legends” will also be contributing. Follow the link to see what’s in there so far. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152612119930756.1073741828.210853230755&type=1

*The term legend is loosely describing players that retired a few years ago and not the man in the image. (Image used to portray the best dressed title he keeps appearing in)Nitch

Launch of the GAA’s Healthy Club Project

The health and wellbeing of members was firmly placed at the heart of GAA clubs at the launch of Phase 1 of the new GAA Healthy Club Project in Croke Park.
Uachtarán CLG, Liam Ó Néill, and Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health, Dr. Tony Holohan, jointly launched the project, reflecting its collaborative nature between the GAA and the HSE. At its core, the project aims to assist GAA clubs in responding to the wide and varied health needs of their members, while extending that positive influence out to the wider communities they serve.
GAA clubs all over the world already provide great health benefits for their players, members and communities alike. Yet there exists continuous demand from clubs for guidance in many areas relating to health promotion including:
·        healthy eating and diet
·        drug and alcohol awareness
·        mental well-being and resilience development
·        suicide prevention and response
·        the promotion of health and wellbeing through physical activity
·        activities for older and non-playing members
“The GAA Healthy Club Project aims to highlight and re-enforce the great work already being done by clubs while assisting them in identifying and responding to the most important health issues amongst their membership and in their communities,” Liam O’Neill said at the launch.

“This collaboration is an extension of the long-standing partnership between the Health Sector and the GAA through the Association’s ASAP (Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention) Programme, and we hope this project will further assist clubs and their communities to respond to their health needs in a holistic way at grass roots level,” added Dr. Tony Holohan
