Inter Provincials
On behalf of all in the club we would like to
congratulate Gary Hurney on being selected on the Munster Football team on
Sunday last who were narrowly defeated by Ulster in Armagh.
County Board Quiz
On Thursday February 21st the County Board
are holding a table quiz throughout the County with the questions being aired
on WLR FM buy our own Bob O’Brien and Kieran O’Connor. There was a fantastic
turnout of club personal last month for the footballers quiz so it would be
great to see a big turnout in Minnies Bar at 8:30 pm on the night to support
our County. Teams of three or four cost €10 a person.
Club Pitch
All managers are asked to note that the main club
pitch remains closed and managers are asked to ensure that they have booked the
training pitch before arranging training. We would ask that managers arranging
Challenge games would book the field at least five days in advance with Michael
O’Donovan.
Membership
Membership fees are now due and can be paid to Jonathan
O’Donovan or Kevin Tobin or indeed any member of the club committee. We would
ask that all players make an effort to pay their membership as soon as possible
as training has now resumed with a number of Championships beginning in the
next number of weeks.
Deise Development Draw
Over the next number of weeks members of our club will
once again be calling to the people of our parish seeking your support for the
Deise Development Draw which will begin at the end of March. The format of the
draw is similar to previous years with nine monthly draws costing €10 a month.
Each month there will be a prize fund of €15,600 so as well as supporting our
club you will be in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes.
Committee Meeting
The next meeting of the club committee will take place
tonight, Wednesday February 20th at 7:30 pm in the club grounds.
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our
sympathies to Mrs. Margaret Looby on the death of her father Michael McGrath
last week. The Looby family has given wonderful service to our club for many
years and continue to do so today. Indeed Michael’s grandson Brian showed great
club spirit in lining out for the Club on Sunday so soon after the death of his
grandfather. Once again we send our sympathies to Margaret and all the family
and friends of Michael McGrath.
We would also like to send our sympathies to the
family and many friends of the late John A Murphy, Dungarvan who passed away
last week. John A was a true legend of the GAA and had many friends in
Abbeyside particularly in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where he enjoyed many a great
nights entertainment with his friends many of whom would be visiting him from the four corners of
Ireland and from overseas. Ar dheis lamh
