Bailieborough Shamrocks G.F.C.: Ireland Lights Up postponed to February
The GAA received a communication from Sport Ireland who, in consultation with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht and Sport, have requested the postponement of the Ireland Lights Up walking initiative until the start of February (dependant on the Government guidelines at that time). We were informed that this late change of position was prompted by the continued escalation of the pandemic here in Ireland.
The GAA Healthy Club ‘Every Step Counts’ Challenge in partnership with Irish Life’s MyLife App will proceed as planned and will start on tonight, Wednesday, January 13th and will run for 7 weeks. In each province there are 3x O’Neills vouchers up for grabs – €2,500, €1,500 and €1,000. Any club that tracks more than 4,000km during the challenge will be entered into the prize draw in their province.
Can everybody please download this MyLife App and join our Bailieborough Shamrocks Page. When you go for your walk or run from Wednesday 14th January to Wednesday, March 3rd track your activity and that will go in our Team Steps total. If we collectively get 4000kms then we go into a draw for the prizes.. No bother to us…..
