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.
