Club Notes - 10th October


Jack The Joker
No. Drawn - 5
Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue this Sunday night in The Parish Office at 8pm where the Jackpot will be €3,254 as on Sunday night Sean Kiely was drawn out of the drum but did not find the Joker, however he does win €50 euro while Sean McGrath and Claire Cosgrave 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 Intermediates contested the Western Final against a very strong Ballinameela side and despite putting in a very spirited display we were defeated in a good sporting game of football. Whilst defeat was our lot on the day we must thank the players and management team for their commitment and effort throughout the year as it was a fantastic achievement to reach the final with such a young side. We would like to wish Tom Hanrahan a speedy recovery from the broken collarbone which he sustained early in the game and also wish Ballinameela the very best of luck in the County Final.
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.
SUBS: C. KINDREGAN, D. FERNCOMBE, E. ENRIGHT, E. BERGIN.

Senior Football
This Saturday evening we take on Stradbally in the County Semi Final in Fraher Field at 4pm. All support for the team would be greatly appreciated.

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 Committee Meeting
There will be a meeting of the club committee tonight, Wednesday October 10th at 8pm in the club grounds.

Best Wishes
On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish our near neighbours Dungarvan the very best of luck ahead of the County Senior Hurling Final this Sunday.

Club Bingo
Our club bingo will continue in the CBS Hall this Sunday night where the Jackpot is €1,650. 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.
