Munster Clubs Support Local Communities

Munster clubs have shared useful information, positive messages and provided a helping hand to those in need, as a result of the challenges faced by the Coronavirus.

Clubs from across the province have offered support through their social media channels, regularly updating their members and supporters with the latest advice from the HSE, while also reaching out to the wider community.

Read the HSE’s health information and advice.

Several clubs have offered help to those who are in need and live close by.

If anyone in the community needs help with food-shopping, pharmacy collection or any day-day tasks then please contact 087 9253112. We are here to help in any way we can. Please everyone, STAY SAFE @NenaghGuardian @sixtwofourtwo @TippFMSport @TipperaryLive @GirlsOrmond

Our 2019/20 season is prematurely over. Regrettable but appropriate given the circumstances. To all our players, coaches, members, supporters and followers, stay well, stay fit. Follow the guidance on personal hygiene and social distancing. We can all help to #FlatenTheCurve
