Ahane GAA suspends activity over Covid-19 fears

Ahane have become the second Limerick GAA club to suspend activities amid coronavirus fears.

The club do not have any confirmed cases but have made the decision to cease activities having played Claughaun in a junior hurling match on Sunday.

This comes after Claughaun confirmed a case within their club earlier this week.

This suspension does not affect the club’s Bord na nOg, Camogie or LGFA teams whose training will continue as normal unless they are otherwise advised by the club.

The statement by Ahane GAA follows in full:

“Ahane GAA Club have taken the decision to suspend all activity for our adult teams until August 24th following on from Sundays Junior hurling game v Claughaun.

We have been in constant contact with both the HSE and The GAA and are following all the necessary guidelines and precautions, hence why we have decided to suspend our adult teams until August 24th to try and ensure the safety of all our club members.

We strongly advice that all our members remain vigilant and follow all the guidelines so that we can return to playing our games again as soon as possible.

We will continue to follow all the procedures and we will update you if there are any changes.

*Please note that Bord Na nOg, Camogie and LGFA teams are unaffected by the suspension and will continue to train as normal unless told otherwise.”
