Club Trip
We are glad to report that all of the club party who
went on the club outing to Cardiff (or Liverpool!!) returned safely from what
was a great weekend enjoyed by all and which was richly deserved by the
players. A special thank you, to James O’Mahony and Michael O’Halloran, who put
in so much work to organise the trip.
Team Managers
Anybody who is interested in managing any of our adult
teams next year is asked to inform Jonathan O’Donovan by January 8th.
Club Social
Our Club Social has been fixed for Saturday February
15th in the Park Hotel, and it promises to be a great night where we
will be presenting medals to our victorious Senior and Under 21 Football teams
and our Junior Hurling Team. Tickets
costing €25 can be ordered from Michael Ferncombe, Kevin Tobin, Niamh Enright,
Jonathan O’Donovan or Tiernan Murray.
Granville Hotel Award
We would like to wish Patrick Hurney the very best of
luck ahead of the Granville Hotel/WLR FM GAA Awards night which takes place
this Saturday night. Patrick was nominated for the award in recognition of his
scoring during last year’s County Senior Hurling Championship.
GAA National Draw
This year for the GAA are staging a National Draw with
some truly fantastic prizes on offer. The prize fund is being fully paid for by
Croke Park meaning that 100% of the money the club makes from the draw will be
kept by the club. Tickets cost €10 each and are currently available to purchase
from any member of the Club Committee or the Juvenile Committee.
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our
sympathies to the family and many friends of the late Aggie Hourigan, Murphy
Place who passed away recently. The Hourigan family have a long association
with our club as her sons and grandsons played with us and continue to play an
active role in the club whilst her great grandchildren maintain the link with
the club on the playing fields today. We once again send our sympathies to all
her family but especially to her sister Rita, daughters Nora, Eleanor and
Kathleen and her sons Michael, Paddy, John, David and Declan.
We would also like to send our sympathies to the
McDonagh family, Bagenalstown Co. Carlow, on the death of Mr. Michael McDonagh
who was a business partner of Jack O’Hare with Adesco who are of course our
main club sponsors. The very generous financial support given to the club by
Michael and Jack is deeply appreciated by all in the club and we once again
send our sympathies to Michael’s family but especially his father James, wife
Mary, children Eoin and Orla his sister Maeve and brother Declan.
