All at Carniny wish to thank Cliffy Adams and his Sports Hut staff for being such generous hosts and hope to hold other events at the venue in the near future.

DEFIBRILATOR TRAINING

The club will take delivery of an automated external defibrillator later this month when coaches from the club undergo training in the use of the unit.

Defibrilators are becoming increasingly evident in both work and leisure and are an invaluable tool in primary lifesaving care. The units are used in cases of life threatening cardiac arrhythmias which lead to cardiac arrest.

All teams within Carniny Youth will have at least one member of the coaching staff trained in the operation of the unit.
