Sports First Aid Course : John Desmond
Cork Sports Partnership held a Sports First Aid course last Saturday and we had four members taking part…Ed Fitzgerald, Grace O’Leary, Gary Gibbons and Ger Down. By all accounts, there was a lot packed into the six hours of the course. The club paid for the four members to do this course with the aim of having a pool of people who are trained in the use of a defibrillator and to have a basic understanding of first aid.

‘Myrtleville Selkies’ to swim English Channel for Cork University Hospital : John Desmond
This was spotted in the news during the week by Denis Looney. Club member Laurence Courtney is part of six member team who will attempt a relay crossing of the English Channel on Friday. Named the ‘Myrtleville Selkies’, they will be swimming at least double the length of the 35km-wide channel, as the currents force participants to swim from side to side as the tide ebbs and flows. Full story here… http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/myrtleville-selkies-to-swim-english-channel-for-cork-university-hospital-453418.html
