The Minor club are are delighted to host today (Tuesday), the first of our upcoming Cardic Screening Events in collaboration with The Dillon Quirke Foundation and AMS (Advanced Medical Services).

This event is targeted at all of our players aged between 12 and 17 years old and the aim is to prioritise the health and well-being of our young teams by offering Free of Charge cardiac screenings. While the screening itself is free of charge, we would encourage donations to support the invaluable work being carried out by the Dillon Quirke Foundation. This can be done via the link below or alternatively donations can be made on the day.

About the Dillon Quirke Foundation

This foundation was set up in honour of the late Dillon Quirke who collapsed and died of SADS on the 5th of August 2022 in Semple Stadium Thurles.

He was playing hurling for his club Clonoulty-Rossmore in the Tipperary championship.

Sudden adult death syndrome (SADS) takes 100 young lives in Ireland every year. Our aim is to raise awareness and save lives by screening every GAA player both male and female from the age of 12 upwards.
