First Aid / Concussion Information Night

Coiste na nÓg Chairman Seamus Moynihan held a first aid and concussion workshop in the clubhouse last Friday night. Des Spillane demonstrated first aid and Liam Ryan gave a detailed demonstration about the signs of concussion. We are very lucky to have trained personnel like Des and Liam, with their experience can share their knowledge with their fellow club members. A great initiative by the club and its vital that our coaches are trained in first aid and continue to keep our players in a safe environment.
