All Ireland Irish Red Competition 2014
The all-Ireland Novice and Cadet competition was held in
Loughrea on sat 4th October. The Ballinora/Ballincollig branch had a
Novice and Cadet team representing the Cork South West Area. Also on Sunday 5th
October we had an E.M.T (Emergency Medical Technician) team in the E.M.T
competition.
As usual there were many challenging scenarios for the
competitors to put their knowledge and training into practice. E.g. Spinal
injuries, laceration to the femur and fracture pelvis- just to mention a few.
This competition is a wonderful opportunity for the young
members to put all of their training and skills into practice in a staged
situation .As well as reuniting with their friends from various branches
throughout the Country.
