Club Notes - 26th September


Jack The Joker
No. Drawn - 29
Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue this Sunday night in The Stables Bar where the Jackpot will be €2,630 as on Sunday night Claire Walsh was drawn out of the drum but did not find the Joker, however she does win €50 while Martina Power and Anthony Carroll 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.


Intermediate Football
On Saturday afternoon last our Intermediate Footballers qualified for the Western Final thanks to a hard earned victory over Sliabh gCua in the excellently appointed Bushy Park grounds. The team played some excellent football at times to lead for the majority of the game but a strong finish by our opponents meant there were some nervous moments before John Condon’s final whistle which saw us emerge victorious on a score of 0:13 to 2:03.
TEAM: R. RYAN, D. HENLEY, J. MOORE, B. LOOBY, N. DEE, T. HANRAHAN, D. COLLINS, R. DUNFORD, C. KEANE, S. CROTTY, A. LANDERS, S. DELAHUNTY, S. O’DONOVAN, L. HURNEY, E. COLLINS.

Senior Football
Following the victory of our Intermediate’s our supporters made the short trip into Fraher Field to see our Senior Footballers take on Ring in the quarter final of the County Championship. This game was similar to the Intermediate game as despite leading for much of the game we had to withstand a strong finish by Ring to qualify for the County Semi Final on a score of 1:13 to 2:07. Our opponents in the Semi Final will be Stradbally.
TEAM: S. ENRIGHT, M. LAVAN, J. PHELAN, M. POWER, R. FOLEY, P. LYNCH, C. MOLONEY, S. O’HARE, S. BRIGGS, M. GORMAN, M. FIVES, J. O’BRIEN, M. FERNCOMBE, P. HURNEY, G. HURNEY.

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 €1,550. We would ask all members to check the rota to see what nights they are due to help with clearing the hall after the bingo.

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.
