Congratulations
It was good to see that the arrival of baby Eabha and the sleepless nights hasn’t affected the performances of Jason O’Brien as he scored a valuable goal in our victory over the Brickeys on Sunday. On behalf of all in the club we congratulate Jason and Clodagh on the birth of Eabha last week.

Club Bingo
Our Bingo continues this Sunday night in the CBS Hall where the jackpot is €1450.

Déise Draw
We had one winner in the August Déise Development Draw on Friday last as Sarah Mullarkey won €150.

Development Work
Last week saw the completion of our Ball Alley complete with astro turf playing area. This will be a fantastic asset to the club for many years and it is the wish of all in the club to see it used to its maximum potential. We would ask any team manager who wishes to use the Alley for training sessions to please book it with Michael O’Donovan, and we ask all managers or players who are using it to please ensure that you lock the gate when leaving the alley. Further development work will commence shortly as our new pitch will be sprayed and seeded in the coming weeks showing that our club is committed to providing the best of facilities to the future generations of our parish.

Best Wishes
On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish the Waterford Minor Hurlers the very best of luck ahead of the All Ireland Final this Sunday.

Sympathy
We would like to send our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the late Tom Collender, formerly of Garranbane, who passed away in Dublin last week. Whilst Tom had lived in Dublin for some time he was very much an Abbeyside man and was a member of many Abbeyside Senior Hurling teams in the 1950’s. He was on the first Abbeyside Senior Hurling team that played Dungarvan in 1951 and he won a County Minor Football title in the same year. In 1954 he was on our team that played Mt. Sion in the County Semi Final and the following year he was on the team that were defeated by Mt. Sion in the County Final. Whilst Tom’s work took him away from Abbeyside he continued to support the club and was a very generous sponsor of the Juvenile Section for many years for which we were most grateful. Once again we send our sympathies to Tom’s family especially his wife Nellie, daughters Maureen, Helen and Rena and sons Hubert and Mark.
Club History
Abbeyside / Ballinacourty GAA Club was formed in 1967 as a result of the amalgamation of Abbeyside Hurling and Football Clubs and Ballinacourty Football Club. It is situated within the Parish of Abbeyside, Ballinroad and Garranbane. Located on the eastern side of the River Colligan, it forms the northern and eastern shorelines of Dungarvan Harbour from Abbeyside Church to Ballinacourty Lighthouse

Development Fund
Abbeyside/Ballinacourty GAA Club has been growing at a dramatic pace over the past 10 years with the population of our parish increasing rapidly. We must ensure that we have the best facilities for all our players. We want to ensure that the next generation have the facilities that they need and deserve. We are asking supporters and friends to support this project over the next five years.

Strategic Plan
Past generations have had their visions for the future of our club. These are our current aims and with these achieved we hope to hand on the club to future generations in the same healthy state it was passed onto us.
