GALWAY SENIOR HURLING club Tommy Larkin have announced a brilliant new gesture to raise awareness for suicide prevention.
The club of Galway senior attacker Jason Flynn will carry the logo of suicide prevention service Pieta House this year.
The club secured a new sponsorship with The Galway Plate Restaurant and as part of the arrangement they will bear the name of Pieta House on the back of their jersey.
Conor Cusack is amongst those to praise the south Galway club for the initiative.
Earlier this year Killimor Hurling Club in Galway became became the first club in the county to use the ‘Mind our Men’ logo on their jersey.
The intermediate club, based in small rural village in East Galway, have been affected by suicide in recent times and club secretary Ger Lyons chose to use the Pieta House logo on the back of their jersey, as well as on the front of their newly designed training tops.
Class from canning , hes the 1 player iv always wanted to win an all ireland. Hes been class since he came onto the big stage and always comes back stronger then ever. Had a quiet second half by his standards
Looked injured in fairness
Was half hoping Waterford would win and really they had their chances but who would deny Galway’s Joe Canning his success today he has endured many a bad day so cheers Joe andGalway on their double
Don’t think anyone could begrudge Galway and Canning. So much recent hurt but both keep coming back hungrier every year. Well deserved from a Limerick man. Hopefully Mayo can end their suffering now next, after we hopefully nick an under 21 all Ireland.
Legend Canning – an exemplar for others to look up to in hurling. Captain Burke’s speech was excellent also. Cracking game today!
Has there ever been a greater ambassador for the game. As much class off the field as on it.
What a great gesture ….a day those boys won’t forget …well done Joe
Cork supporter but couldn’t be happier for this man, a true great and a class act. Really tough on Waterford but they can’t put an asterisk after Joe’s name any more. Lovely gesture, and I hope he doesn’t get the brainless criticism aimed at Aidan O’Shea for being decent to young supporters. Maith fear, Joe.
The cannings will clean up at the ploughing championships selling hurlers after this ‘
