Fundraising Cycle
One of our most loyal and
dedicated Club Members Liam O’Connor is calling on all Abbeyside/Ballinacourty
members, players, supporters, friends and cycling enthusiasts to support a
Fundraising Cycle which he is organising on Saturday August 2nd. Liam
is organising the cycle from Limerick to Abbeyside to raise much need funds
towards the running and further development of the club. As you all know the
club has had huge success on the playing fields last year and all our club
teams and ladies represented the club with great pride throughout the year. The club would not be able to run as smoothly
as it currently does without the huge volume of volunteers who give so much of
their time to coaching teams, by working on committees and doing countless tasks
in fundraising and all other events run by the club. The facilities in our club
have been brought to a new level in recent years thanks to the generosity of
all in our Parish who give very generously when club people come calling at
their homes, work places, shops and businesses to raise funds to help pay for
projects such as the refurbishment of
the dressing rooms, installing state of the art floodlights and generator
to run lights, the erection of a state of the art ball alley to improve hurling
skills and the purchase of almost 8 acres and the developing of the third pitch
which will cater for the needs of the club teams for many years to come. We would like to thank all those people who
have dug deep into their pockets to allow the club to be able to provide all
these amenities. Liam is calling on any who would like to join him on the cycle
to let him know in the next few weeks. The
cycle will cater for all levels of cyclists and will involve a trip of around
85 to 90 miles. Please contact Liam, Michael, Benny or Beanie to let them know
of your interest and meetings will be organised to let people know of what it
takes to be a part of a huge fun cycle.
Liam can be contacted at 0851191908 or liam.oconnor@augh.com, Michael can be reached at michealcosgrave@hotmail.com or 0877682068, Benny can be contacted at benny.i.flynn@gsk.com or 087-9352716 while Beanie can be reached at liambyrnebeanie@yahoo.com or 087-6436046.
Booking of Pitches
All team managers are reminded to please ensure that
they have booked the pitch for training or matches with Michael O’Donovan. We
would also ask team managers to please try and do as much heavy training in the
areas behind the goals.
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our
sympathies to the family and many friends of the late Kathleen Organ, Coolagh Road,
who passed away last weekend. Kathleen and her husband Liam were great
supporters of our club and the Abbeyside or Ballinacourty flag would fly
proudly from their home whenever any of our teams would contest County Finals.
Kathleen’s sons Joe, Timmy, Liam and John wore our jersey for many years
helping in the winning of many County Titles for over two decades, with Timmy
being a member of the three in a row Minor football team while John captained
the club to under 14 and Intermediate County Titles, and this tradition was
carried on by Kathleen’s grandson Jamie in recent years. Once again we send our
sympathies to Liam, Kay, Joe, Timmy, Liam and John and all of Kathleen’s family
and friends.
