Cycle Against Suicide
Adult Club members stood shoulder to shoulder at their training session on Wednesday night last, wearing the orange jerseys of the Cycle Against Suicide Movement. The core message of the cycle against suicide is that it is OK not to feel OK, and it is absolutely OK to ask for help, and there is good help available locally, we just have to ask.  The momentum for the cycle spinoff event on Saturday 18th October is beginning to build, and our club community has helped to engage more people who are joining a conversation we all desperately need to have. It's ok not feel ok, but it is not ok to ignore the fact that we all experience a range of emotions and it is absolutely not ok to fail to acknowledge the vital role that mental health plays in our overall well-being. This community, our community, have helped start and lead this conversation. Together shoulder to shoulder we can take mental health issues from the silence and shadows in which they thrive into the light and vitality of open discourse. For more information, check out the Cycle Against Suicide Dungarvan Spin Off page on Facebook.

Intermediate Football
On Sunday night last in truly atrocious weather conditions our Intermediate football team took on Brickey Rangers in the Western Final. At the end of a hard fought first half the sides were level with both teams trying their best to overcome the near impossible playing conditions. The second half was equally as hard fought but at the full time whistle it was Brickey Rangers who were ahead and we wish them the best of luck in the County Final. This team can be most proud of their performance not alone on Sunday night, but in all their games in the championship and we thank their management team of Eddie O’Halloran, Tom Whelan and Geoff Collins for all the work they did with the team.
