Buncrana GAA Notes for Week Ending Sunday 8th June 2014 Senior Football The Seniors won an exciting, flowing game away to Urris on Sunday, making it 3 wins now against close local rivals. Buncrana’s scorers were spread across the team but Darrach O’Connor and Paddy McMyler scored 3 points each and best for Buncrana was Oran Doherty with 6 points. Final score was Urris 2-6 Bun Cranncha 0-16.

Irish Language Tá an Ciorcal Comhrá ar oíche Dé Luain ar ceal go dtí go bhfógrófar a mhalairt. Tá brón orainn faoi seo agus tá súil again go n-atosóidh sé arís go luath. The Irish Language Conversation group on Monday nights is cancelled until further notice. We apologise for this and hope to resume it again very soon. Cardiac Screening Following the completion of a two year research programme in which nearly 300 GAA players were examined in an attempt to assess the effectiveness of various screening methods, the GAA’s Medical, Scientific & Welfare Committee updated its position paper on cardiac screening. The GAA now advise that the most effective way to identify risk is for players over the age of 14 to undergo cardiac screening on one occasion. It is also advised that this process be repeated before the age of 25. Players should consult their team or family doctor if they wish to get screened and screening should consist of completion of the GAA’s Cardiac Screening Questionnaire, a Physical Examination and an ECG. As part of its commitment in this context and to aid diagnosis, the GAA in conjunction with the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) have implemented a programme whereby any doctors carrying out a cardiac screening programme for a GAA player will be able to send that ECG to the cardiac department in the Mater under Dr. Joseph Galvin to have a sports cardiology opinion on the ECG. In order to avail of this service, GP’s should contact Ruairí Harvey, the GAA’s Player Welfare Administrator in Croke Park ([email protected] or 01 865 8685). We would recommend that any interested players, parents or guardians download the Cardiac Screening Questionnaire, or alternatively there will be some copies available in the clubhouse. gaa.ie/medical-and-player-welfare/cardiac-screening/ Beyond The Game Event Ulster GAA, the Irish FA and IRFU (Ulster Branch) are joining forces in the delivery of a joint good relations event next month which is aimed at supporting local sports clubs and promoting positive community relations.
