Club Notes - 18th April


Joker Fundraiser
Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue this Sunday night in The Stables Bar where the Jackpot will be €6,044. This week Marie Maloney was drawn out of the drum but did not find the joker but did win €50 euro while Kevin and Nora Tobin and Switchie O’Donnell won €25. We appeal to all our supporters to continue purchasing the tickets as the funds raised will go towards our ongoing development works at the club grounds.

Minor Football
On Monday evening last our Minor Footballers played their second game in the County Championship when they welcomed Dungarvan to our club grounds and we would like to thank the Dungarvan club for their co operation in re-fixing this game. The game was a typical local derby played in a good sporting spirit and with time up we led by four points but no less than seven minutes of extra time were played at the end of which the sides were level at 1:06 each. This Monday we are away to Gaultier with a 7pm throw in.

Senior Hurling
Our Senior Hurlers played two games last week. On Monday we welcomed Dunhill to our club grounds for the first round of the Sargent Cup and recorded a very good victory to move onto the Second Round of the Competition. On Thursday evening we were again at home to Fourmilewater in the County League. At the end of a good game of hurling our opponents were victorious on a score of 3:13 to 1:16.
