Over 260 budding hurlers from Tipperary lined out earlier this week in Semple Stadium for one of Centra’s hurling events of the season. The event, which was attended by hurling stars Henry Shefflin and Podge Collins, is part of Centra’s Live Well initiative which promotes healthy living and encourages people to get active.

 

 

 

The inter-county players put participants to the test with the #LiveWell Target Challenge, as clubs aimed to secure a place at the ultimate day out in Croke Park later this year. Kilruane MacDonaghs GAA Club were the lucky winners on the day, with club members stepping foot on the famous pitch later this year and receiving a hurling skills session from the best hurlers in the country. As well as this, they will receive an all access pass to behind the scenes areas of Croke Park, a stadium tour and museum tour.

 

 

 

At the recent community hurling event, girls and boys from all over Tipperary came in their droves to take part in the event and learn from inter-county players. As well as a variety of fun skills sessions, the participants also received some invaluable healthy eating tips from the hurling heroes on the day. The inter-county players gave a healthy eating talk on how to perform to the best of their ability through healthy living, with healthy eating habits and hydration suggestions. 

 

 

 

The Tipperary event was hosted by the following Centra stores; Ely’s Centra Cashel, Ely’s Centra Clonmel, Cussen’s Centra Bansha, Austin’s Centra Cloughjordan, Hourihane’s Centra Killenaule, Dwyer’s Centra Thurles, Ely’s Centra Thurles, Ely’s Centra Thurles, O’Connell's Centra Templemore, Deegan’s Centra Urlingford, Casey’s Centra Toomevara, Shanahan’s Centra Borrisoleigh and Carroll’s Centra Roscrea.

 

 

 

Throughout the summer Centra will have a series of #LiveWell hurling challenges, led by King Henry, encouraging the nation to pick up a hurl, test their skills and upload their videos online in order to win superb prizes.

 

 

 

The current #LiveWell challenge, which is open for entries until 28th August, is the ‘Centra Hurling Tricks Challenge’ with the best entry winning two tickets to the All-Ireland Championship final. Fans simply enter by uploading their video on social media using #LiveWell. For more information on how to take part go to www.centra.ie or follow Centra Ireland on social media.
