AGM
Our Annual General Meeting took place in Abbeyside School Hall on Friday
night last and it was great to see such a big crowd not alone present but also
contribute to a very informative and constructive debate on a number of
matters. Club Treasurer Packie Hurney once again presented an excellent set of
accounts which laid out very clearly the huge costs associated with running our
club and meeting our obligations arising from our recent development works.
Packie was deservedly praised for the huge time and commitment he puts into administering
our accounts, one which carries a huge burden in a voluntary organisation.
Jonathan O’Donovan’s Secretary’s report covered every aspect of our Club’s
activities over the past 12 months and again Jonathon was thanked not alone for
producing such a good report but also for the efficient manner in which he
carries out his job throughout the year.
In his Chairman’s address Bernard Shields gave an excellent speech where
he thanked all those who worked so hard for both the Adult and Juvenile
Sections during the year. Whilst it was disappointing to end the year without
any Senior Honours this year Bernard thanked the players and managers for their
commitment and called for a big effort on the playing fields next year. Bernard
also paid special tribute to all those who worked so tirelessly on our Club
Development work not alone this year but also over the past 4 years. It is
worth noting that since we began these works in excess of €450,000 has been
spent in the club grounds, which is a remarkable figure in such difficult
economic circumstances. Bernard also said it is great to see the new pitch
ready for use in 2015 and indeed two matches took place on the pitch over the
last number of days.
The election of officers then took place with the following elected:-
Presidents: Austin Flynn, Liam
Enright, Éamonn Keane, Joseph Organ, Jimmy O'Leary, Fr. Michael Enright, P.E.
Vice Presidents: Fr. Michael Brennock, OSA,
Fr. Colin Fives, OSA, Fr. Ned Hassett, PP.

International Rules
On Saturday last Australia defeated Ireland in the once off Test in Perth,
but prior to the match an exhibition Gaelic Football match took place
comprising players form Western Australian GAA Clubs. Taking part in the exhibition match was Eoin
Brackett who is living in Perth for a few years now and indeed earlier in the
year Eoin and Daryl Ryan were members of the Shamrocks team that won the
Western Australia Hurling title, showing that both have lost none of the skills
which saw them win numerous County Titles with us before departing for
Australia. We believe that the Abbeyside contingent in Perth grew even more
over the weekend with the arrival of a few tourists who no doubt enjoyed the
Perth nightlife with great gusto!!
Munster Club
We would like to congratulate Cappoquin on their fantastic victory last
Saturday in the Munster Intermediate Hurling Final and to wish both The Nire
and Modeligo the very best of luck ahead of their Munster Final matches this
weekend.
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to extend our deepest
sympathies to the family and friends of the late Johnny Enright who passed away

Once again we send our sympathies to all the Enright family on their sad loss.

respectively that were played at Dungarvan GAA Club over the weekend. While

Under 16
Our Under 16 footballers wrapped up the year of

last when they played the Western Final of the Under 16 Football competition.
After losing the county final of this competition earlier in the year narrowly
these lads were determined to take at least one title from their year’s
efforts. They took on the Nire on a very windy day. After being against the
wind in the first half they played some outstanding football against the
elements and led by two goals at half time. In the second half with the wind
the lads pulled away to win well in the end against a gallant Nire outfit. Team
captain Patrick Power raised the cup on behalf of a team that really deserved
some silverware at the end of a long hard year. Well done to all the players
and management involved.

Juvenile Notes - 29th October
AGM
The Juvenile AGM takes place on
Thursday night the 27th November at the GAA club grounds.
Outdoor Hurling
There will be no outdoor hurling
this Saturday morning. The indoor season starts on November the 14th
at the Friary College. Teamers will be sent out to all for this in plenty of
time.
Under 16
Our under 16 football team
travelled to Ardmore on Sunday last. After a great display by all we came out well
on top to qualify for the Western semi final.
