St. Patricks GAA Club Palmerstown

A Chairde,

Thanks to everyone who took part in the Dean Rock Run Against the Sun Challenge for Stewarts Care last Friday. Almost sixty runners from the Club took part, all adhering to strict social distancing guidelines around Covid 19. The run was scheduled over 12 hours, with participants allocated individual time slots throughout the day.



There was a phenomenal response to the fundraising effort, and you can still donate if you wish to do so by clicking on this link:

A special word of thanks to Darren Kinsella for taking the photographs which are on our FaceBook page, and to Keith Maher who put a huge effort into organising the event and making sure everything went to plan.



On other matters, you will be aware of the recent Government announcement on easing the Covid restrictions and for sports, including the GAA, the possibility of a resumption of training and playing again. The Club will be guided by the GAA in this regard, and we anticipate that guidance will issue at some point. We will be in touch with mentors then.



In the meantime, the clubhouse remains closed and all activity suspended. Hopefully, it won't be too long but the most important thing at this time is for everyone to stay safe and continue following the guidelines.


Finally, please find below the GAA Club Newsletter for April 2020 which contains a range of information for club members at administrator, volunteer, coach and player levels. We hope you find it useful.
