GALWAY SENIOR HURLING club Tommy Larkin have announced a brilliant new gesture to raise awareness for suicide prevention.

The club of Galway senior attacker Jason Flynn will carry the logo of suicide prevention service Pieta House this year.

The club secured a new sponsorship with The Galway Plate Restaurant and as part of the arrangement they will bear the name of Pieta House on the back of their jersey.

Conor Cusack is amongst those to praise the south Galway club for the initiative.
