With #LCPE exam this Friday, here’s a timely reminder that safe practice it’s a live issue in Hurling & Camogie.
Helmets must comply with IS:355 standards and remain unmodified to protect players from serious head, face and eye injuries. @officialgaa @OfficialCamogie #LCPE

The GAA and Camogie Assoc have reminded players that if a head injury occurs while wearing a helmet that doesn’t meet the required standard, or has been altered from its original manufactured state, Player Injury Fund cover may not apply. @officialgaa @OfficialCamogie #LCPE

For LCPE students, this is a perfect example of the link between:
✅ safe practice in sport
✅ rules and regulations
✅ injury prevention
Best of luck on Friday! @officialgaa @OfficialCamogie #LCPE #ExamPrep

Bridget Moran was undoubtedly the kindest, most genuine person I’ve come across in this job. A stalwart of Oulart-The Ballagh and Wexford Camogie, quietly irreplaceable in the glory days of the game in the county, did so much more than her title of ‘first aid’.

Look at the last save again - the one from Fitzpatrick (yellow helmet). While less spectacular than the Tobin one, it’s actually more impressive, more difficult height & look at the second movement!!! It’s going in without the second stop!!! #Hurling #GAA

These have been sent on; the state of the pitch at the end of the game. Obviously same for both teams but it’s impossible to play a proper game in this, it’s also a danger to the players. While clearly no men’s game would be played in this, I don’t believe LGFA would either.

Another female focus this week, standing on shoulders…
Rachel Blackmore didn’t appear out of nowhere. Women rode, competed, and faced barriers to overcome… #WomenInSport

Why did her success land differently? Winning and sustaining excellence made a real impact. Her consistency bred belief, not just in racing, but in sport culture.

Recognition and opportunity for Rachel…
Societal perception changed when a woman proved she could be champion among everyone, not alongside them.
