We recently held a very successful Anti-Bullying Course over two nights, for our boys Fe 15 and Fe 16 teams, along with the girls Fe 16 football team. Club member John Dennigan ran the course, which gave the kids useful information on the various types of bullying, how severely it can affect people and strategies for coping with the issue.  A big thank you to John for kindly sharing his time and knowledge and also to the kids who participated in the course. We have no doubt it was a positive and worthwhile experience for all.
