I’m happy enough with an 89/100 to be honest 😂

[AllIrishSport @AllIrishSport]

Michael 'Brick' Walsh told the media in Croke Park yesterday that he was unimpressed with the amount of times that players were going down with injuries in games this year.
"I'm not condoning head injuries but sometimes when you cry wolf too many times you won't be believed."

Like any injury athlete welfare is always number one and education around concussion is key in order to ensure this 🔑

[Thomas Fallon @TFallon_Physio]

Pleasure to facilitate a concussion education session tonight led by @robbiesmyth91 in conjunction with @sportireland & @CyclingIreland

A important topic recently in the media in cycling.

Addressing the importance of grassroots concussion education for athletes and parents.
