Club Notes - 12th September

No. Drawn - 20

Joker Jackpot Won
Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue this Sunday night in The Stables Bar where the Jackpot will be €2,000 as this week Fred and Sheila Riordan were drawn out of the drum and behind her number 20 was indeed the joker so she scooped the Jackpot of €12,666 while Mike Kiely and Billy Butler 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.




Senior Hurling
On Saturday evening last we took on Fourmilewater in Fraher Field in the quarter final of the County Championship and at the end of a tight game we were defeated by four points. Whilst defeat was our lot on the night the players did themselves and the club proud not only on the night but all through the Championship and the club would like to thank them and the management team for their commitment all year. Unfortunately we were hit hard by emigration and injury this year but this did allow more players to play Senior Championship with a total of 25 players seeing Championship action during the year which offers hope for the future.

The Brawl in the Hall
Our club has teamed up with Brickey Rangers in a novel fundraising event called “The Brawl in the Hall” organised by White Collar Boxing.  Twelve boxers from each club will square up to one another in three 1½ minute rounds of action.  Training will commence in the near future so all boxers will be in prime condition in time for the big night.  The event takes place on Saturday, 15th December at Dungarvan Sports Centre with tickets priced at €10.  These will be available shortly.  More details to follow in the coming weeks.

Club Bingo
Our club bingo will continue in the CBS Hall this Sunday night where the Jackpot is €1,450.

Club Committee Meeting
The next meeting of the club committee will take place on Thursday, September 20th, at 8 pm in The Club Grounds.

Booking of Pitches
We would like to ask all team managers to please ensure that they have booked the pitch with Bernard Shields before they arrange training sessions.
