A number of young players with Spa GAA Club have had the benefit of undergoing professional cardiac screening as part of an initiative undertaken by the club’s wellbeing committee.
Representatives of the Dillon Quirke Foundation visited the clubhouse to carry out the analysis with underage boys and girls.
The Dillon Quirke Foundation was set up by the family of the former Clonoulty Rossmore and Tipperary hurler who died of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) in August 2022.
He was captaining his club in a championship match against Kilruane McDonaghs in Semple Stadium when he fell ill.
The aim of the foundation is to provide cardiac screening, delivered by Advanced Medical Services, in as many sports clubs as possible in Ireland with the aim of reducing the incidence of Sudden Adult Syndrome.
