📝 Note: It is the Club's responsibility to ensure that its players are covered within the Injury Fund. Clubs will be able to revoke/downgrade any members who have duplicate registrations or should have been registered as non-playing. If an injury occurs to a player not listed or paid for, the player will not be covered under the GAA Injury Benefit Fund and therefore will not be able to claim |
