Kieran Lennon Cup
This Thursday night at 7:30 our Minor Hurlers will play Roanmore for the Kieran Lennon memorial trophy. This promises to be a very competitive and exciting game and we would like to see as many members as possible in attendance on the night.

Mary and Mollie Tournament
This Saturday sees the staging of the second Mary and Mollie Enright Ladies Football Tournament in our club grounds. This year there are 8 teams taking part and if last year is anything to go by it promises to be a huge success and equally as enjoyable. The action gets under way at 1 pm with proceedings expected to wind down around 5 pm, so why not get along to our club grounds on Saturday afternoon and take in some of the exciting matches.

Inter County Activity
We would like to congratulate the Waterford minor hurlers on their fantastic come back in the Munster Final against Limerick on Sunday where Conor Prunty was on the team and Stephen Cliffe and Sean Daly are on the panel whilst Donnacha Enright is a selector and Pat Moore is a member of the backroom. We wish them the very best of luck ahead of the replay on Tuesday of next week.

Club Bingo
This Sunday our Club Bingo returns to the CBS Hall hall at 8:30 pm where the jackpot is €950.

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 extend our sympathies to the family and the many friends of the late Fr. Pat Moran, OSA. Fr. Moran was involved in our club as a selector on a number of football teams and he took a great interest in the performances of his past pupils in his role as principal of St. Augustine’s College. Fr. Moran played a central role in the sporting and personal development of many of our members for over three decades. Fr. Moran was always willing to help the club in whatever way he could and was a hugely popular figure in Abbeyside throughout his time in St. Augustine’s. Once again we send our sympathies to Fr. Moran’s family on his passing.
