Bunbrosna GAA does it’s bit for Front Line Workers

At this unprecedented time of crisis and worry in not only our community but nationally and globally, when what we considered to be normal and everyday routine has become a distant memory , when all group sporting activities wereset aside,we at Bunbrosna GAA were anxious to do what ever we could to be of help to our local community whilst ensuring that we observed the restrictions which were put in place to defend against Covid 19. The club has been to the forefront in the local community with members making themselves available to assist the vulnerable and cocooned with shopping deliveries and other chores that need doing.

Seeing first hand the tremendous sacrifices which are being made daily by our front line workers in our hospitals and the selfless care with which they look after the patients in their care we decided that we would try to do something to make their lives just a little bit easier at this time. Many thanks to all who assisted, took part or donated to our recent fundraiser in support of the staff at Mullingar General Hospital. Pictured is a socially distant handover of a cheque for €1,775 which is being used to purchase re-usable PPE from local suppliers to assist in combating the Covid crisis. Special mention to Sinead Tormey whose tireless efforts enabled this project become the success that it was..

Each week our players upload videos of their impressive skills and a winner is picked Congratulations to Kalem Mc Cormack and Casey Oprey who have been our winners so far. Many thanks to Conor and Ronan for their efforts in this regard.
