Joker Fundraiser
Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue
this Sunday night in The Stables Bar where the Jackpot will be €4,256. This
week Ray Cliffe was drawn out of the drum but did not find the joker but did
win €50 while Jacinta O’Mahoney and Evan Collins won €25. We appeal to all our

towards our ongoing development works at the club grounds.

fantastic victory over Wicklow in the National League in Aughrim where a number
of our players were involved. Mark Ferncombe grabbed three goals in his first
game of the year while Garry and Patrick Hurney were also on the score sheet
with Sean O’Hare lining out at midfield and Stephen Enright was on the panel.

Déise Development Draw
It is that time of year again when our promoters are
out on the doorsteps of the parish promoting the 2012 Déise Development Draw.
The format is similar to previous years with a nine month draw coting ten euro
a month to join. Whilst the board retains some of the money to cover prizes etc
the draw is crucial to helping us meet the costs involved in running our club
in these difficult times. We would ask all our loyal supporters to please
continue to support the draw as best they can, and if you have not been
approached to join the draw but wish to do so then please don’t hesitate to
approach any club committee member.
Bon Voyage
On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish
Eoin Brackett and Daryl Ryan the very best of luck as both lads head off to
Australia this week.
Club Website
Our club website has undergone a major renovation
recently and is well worth a visit to catch up on all the upcoming fixtures and
recent results as well as containing some photos from previous years. Log onto www.abbeycourtygaa.com to see for yourself.
Club Committee Meeting
The next meeting of the club committee will take place
in The Parish Office on Thursday night March 15th at
8 pm.
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our
sympathies to the Moore and O’Donnell families on the death of Anne Moore nee
O’Donnell last week.
