Carrigtwohill pioneers Camán Till Dawn

They were sitting in silence on a winter’s night in the Carrigtwohill club rooms, with the only sound that of a hurler belting a sliotar in the adjacent ball alley.

There was silence, because the topic was suicide among the young of the town and parish.

“We had a consensus that the club needed an initiative in this area,” says David Sullivan, Carraig Óg PRO. “Sadly, we have lost three former members of our juvenile club to suicide during the last three years. The key focus of this event is a topic that is close to the hearts of many people in Carrigtwohill.
