How lucky do you have to be to catch Ireland’s first salmon of the year? How lucky do you have to be to do it twice, most recently in the midst of a pandemic? Joe Broderick knows the answer. He caught Ireland’s first salmon of the year from the River Drowes back in 2003, long before any of us could even have dreamt of Covid-19 in our worst nightmare. And now he has done it again, this time under the severe restrictions that have confined most of us to our homes. Joe is one of only a handful of anglers to have been able to fish the Drowes since it opened on New Year’s Day.

The stress and strain of life under lockdown is taking its toll on many of us.
Realising the pressure people were under, one GAA club in Co Sligo decided it was time to do something positive for its members and the reaction has been overwhelming.
Eastern Harps in Keash set up a Healthy Club programme called Get up, Get Moving , with a whole range of activities and challenges to keep people active and healthy during Level 5 restrictions.
Organiser Eimear Henry said more than 160 people signed up.
They have been divided up into 13 teams competing for points for the different activities they do, be it running, cycling, walking or taking part in the likes of push-up or sit-up challenges.
