Camogie girls support CRY

Eoghan Rua girls devoted the sponsor’s space on their playing kit to the CRY logo to show the club’s backing for the charity.

The club’s link with CRY is mainly due to the friendship many Eoghan Rua club members shared with Aaron Lundy, who died from a cardiac related condition eleven years ago. Aaron’s father, and local CRY representatives John Lundy has worked with the club to get over 70 members screened.

Now, as part of the continuing campaign to increase awareness of cardiac health and promote screening, the local girls have been flying the flag for CRY in their successful Derry and Ulster campaigns to date.

Eoghan Rua and Derry All Star forward Grinne McGoldrick said: “It is very important for young people to look after their health and we are delighted to carry the CRY name on the playing shirts. If it helps encourage even one person to go and screened it is worthwhile.”

John Lundy said: “CRY is grateful to Eoghan Rua camogie team for promoting our work. We believe all young people should be screened and these girls are a fine example.

“We wish them all the best in their forthcoming Ulster Final against Clonduff.”
