Outdoor Hurling
Our underage outdoor hurling continues this Saturday morning the 24th May
at the Burgery at 10. 30 Am. All are welcome. This covers all age ranges from
under 5 to under 10. Anyone who has not paid their membership yet is asked to
pay it on the morning for insurance reasons. Membership forms will also be
given out on the morning. Helmets are compulsory and if required can be
purchased at a reduced price of €50. There will be a €2 cost also to cover
expenses.
Communion
Everyone in the club would like to send out their congratulations to all
those from the parish that have made their First Holy Communions over the past
few weeks.
Bag Pack
Our annual bag pack is now fast approaching and we seek volunteers to fill
timeslots on the given days. It takes part this year at Garvey’s Supervalu Dungarvan
from the 29 to the 31st of May. This is one of main sources of
income for the juvenile committee so we urge anyone available to help out on
those dates to contact juvenile secretary Niamh Enright on (087) 9705005. Any
help would be appreciated no matter how big or small.
Golden Goal
The juvenile club is running a golden goal competition for the Waterford
versus Cork senior hurling game at Thurlus on Sunday next. Support on this
fundraiser would be most appreciated as it is going towards the costs of the Feile
football competition in Mayo. Tickets can be purchased through any committee
member at a price of €2 a ticket or three tickets for a fiver.
Under 16
The under 16 football concluded last Saturday. On Thursday last we
travelled to Ballymacarbry to play the Nire in the U16 county semi final. This
was our best game of the year and played a very good standard of football and
we ran out comprehensive winners on a score line of 2-8 to 4-15. Less than 48
hours later we travelled to Walsh Park to contest the County Final against
Gaultier who themselves had a big win in their semi final. This was a cracking
game of football from the throw in to the final whistle, with nothing between
the two teams and it took a long range free in the 60th minute to
give Gaultier the victory by the minimum of margins, Ballinacourty 3-8 Gaultier
4-6.
