Intermediate Football
On Sunday night last our Intermediate Footballers kept their unbeaten record intact with a very good win over Brickey Rangers in Fraher Field.
TEAM: R. RYAN, G. BREEN, M. LAVAN, S. O’CONNOR, D. HENLEY, E. BERGIN, M. POWER, L. HURNEY, P. LYNCH, L. MULHEARNE, N. DEE, M. MAHER, D. POWER, D. FERNCOMBE, T. MURRAY.

Junior Hurling
This Saturday night we play Brickey Rangers in Fraher Field at 7:30 in the Western Championship. Unfortunately we will be without Diarmuid O’Hare for this game and indeed the remainder of the year as Diarmuid suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury recently and his loss will be sorely felt on Saturday night as his scores were of vital importance to us in our previous victories this year. We wish Diarmuid a speedy recovery from this injury after he has his operation.

Inter County Activity
We would like to congratulate the Waterford minor hurlers on their great victory over Clare on Wednesday night last where Conor Prunty was on the team and Stephen Cliffe and Sean Daly were on the panel whilst Donnacha Enright is a selector and Pat Moore is a member of the backroom. Also well done to the Senior Hurlers on their win over Laois where Richie Foley was introduced into the game in the second half and commiserations to the Senior Footballers on their defeat to Carlow where Shane Briggs and Stephen Enright were on the team.

Club Bingo
This Sunday our Club Bingo returns to the CBS Hall at 8:30 pm where the jackpot is €850.

Déise Draw
The June Déise Draw took place in Portlaw on Thursday night last and we had four winners on the night. Padjoe Lanigan won €500, Anne Fleming won €300 and John Hurney and Jim Fennell both won €100.

First Aid
If there are any members interested in giving a hand with first aid to any of our adult teams at matches we would ask that you inform any club officer of your interest as we are hoping to arrange a First Aid course for any members who are interested.

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 friends of the late Dan Looby, Clonea who passed away last weekend. Dan’s sons played with the club for many years and Dano Looby continues to coach many of our underage sides whilst Dan’s grandsons Brian, David, Tom and Conor continue their great family tradition on the playing fields with the club presently.

Development Fund
Abbeyside/Ballinacourty GAA Club has been growing at a dramatic pace over the past 10 years with the population of our parish increasing rapidly. We must ensure that we have the best facilities for all our players. We want to ensure that the next generation have the facilities that they need and deserve. We are asking supporters and friends to support this project over the next five years.

Strategic Plan
Past generations have had their visions for the future of our club. These are our current aims and with these achieved we hope to hand on the club to future generations in the same healthy state it was passed onto us.
