); It s definitely time that kids are back on the field - the long-awaited return of underage GAA
There’s a real concern that many youngsters won’t return to sport after the lengthy shutdown. By Kevin O Brien Sunday 18 Apr 2021, 8:00 AM 3 hours ago 9,182 Views 7 Comments
BRENDAN BUGLER IS concerned. The Clare All-Ireland winner is a hurling coach, father and teacher. He can see first hand the harmful effects brought about the shutdown of youth sports in this country.
On 1 March 2020, a 3,000 strong crowd packed into Mallow as St Flannan’s College ended a 15-year wait for their 22nd Harty Cup title. Managed by Bugler, the Ennis school beat CBC Cork by three points in the final to collect the prized Munster hurling second-level trophy.

In Hibbing, Shane Roche, administrator of Guardian Angels Health and Rehab Center, said last week that 95 percent of the 60 residents here have received the Moderna vaccine. Just under 70% of the staff members have been vaccinated.
Marc Halpert, COO of Monarch Healthcare Management, which houses more than oversees long-term care and assisted living facilities across the state, including people in Virginia (75), Eveleth (55), Grand Rapids (104), Duluth and Superior, Wis., said more than 75% of residents and 64% of staff members have been vaccinated in those locations.

Wexford plan to seek clarification on the GAA s new rule that forbids more than one captain of a winning team being presented with a cup.
The motion was passed without a vote at last weekend s virtual Congress, under emergency powers granted to Central Council during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Matthew O Hanlon is co-captain of the Wexford hurlers and raised the cup with Lee Chin after their first Leinster triumph in 15 years in 2019.
The defender told RTÉ Sport that he struggles to see the logic in a change that GAA director general Tom Ryan described as being prompted by a desire to tidy up presentation around matches and joked that himself and Chin would have to arm-wrestle to decide who would be first to lift any silverware.
