Sunshine, smiles, healthy food and cracking football and hurling matches, Carnew Emmets had all those magical ingredients coming together to make the dream day for the launch of their Healthy Club programme last Saturday afternoon.

Carnew Emmets are participating in the Irish Life GAA Healthy Club programme which is supported by Irish Life and Healthy Ireland.

Clubs have 18 months to complete the criteria which is a seven-step process in order to achieve Healthy Club status of either foundation, silver or gold status.

The Healthy Club programme aims to help GAA clubs explaore how they can support the holistic health of their members and the community they serve by integrating health into the day-to-day club activities in a sustainable way.

The official launch of the Carnew Emmets Healthy Club campaign took place in conjunction with the underage blitzes for the club’s U7 and U9 boys and U8 and U10 girls and a wonderful day was enjoyed by all.
