KILLYCLOGHER defender Gábhán Sludden and his family have been personally affected by Covid-19 – so the uncertainty about when club action will return isn’t something that’s stressing him out.
Sludden tested positive for Covid-19 in the middle of January, and it proved to be a difficult fortnight for the 27-year-old Quantity Surveyor, who was effectively bed-bound at the peak of his illness.

A close family member of Sludden’s was also affected, while Nuala McAnenely – auntie of Tyrone star Niall Sludden, who’s Gábhán’s first cousin – sadly lost her life after a courageous four-week battle at the South West Acute Hospital last month. She was only 43 years of age.
A WESTERN Health and Social Care Trust (Western Trust) pilot project for Fermanagh and West Tyrone has been successfully launched to help make the home a hub for delivering health and care for our elderly population. A hospital at home service – referred to as Acute Care At Home – has been in place in the Northern sector of the Trust since 2014, with the service providing treatment by health care professionals in a person’s own home for a condition that would otherwise require acute hospital in-patient care. The Acute Care At Home service provides triage, assessment and treatment where appropriate as an alternative to in-patient care specifically for those who are at risk of requiring admission to hospital.
