Rugby World Cup
Unless you have been totally out of touch with the
sporting news over the last week or so you will know that the Irish Ladies
Rugby Team have progressed to the semi finals of the World Cup in France. They
have recorded some fantastic wins en route to the semi final, none more so than
last week’s victory over New Zealand. Central to this win was the performance
of our own Niamh Briggs as she continued with the excellent form she has
displayed for the past number of seasons. Niamh’s performances are a source of
great pride to us all in Abbeyside and we wish her and all the team the very
best of luck in tonight’s semi final against England.
Inter County Activity
Unfortunately last Sunday saw the County Minor Hurlers
exit the All Ireland Championship after defeat to Kilkenny in Croke Park. The
team showed great commitment throughout the game, and seemed to have secured
victory with the game almost over, but Kilkenny leveled before going on to win
in extra time. Conor Prunty was on the team whilst Stephen Cliffe and Sean Daly
were on the panel and Donnacha Enright and Pat Moore were members of the back
room team.
Leaving Certificate
Results
We would like to wish all our members who are
receiving their Leaving Cert results today the very best of luck and hope that
they all get the results they require for their chosen college course or
profession.
Club Bingo
This Sunday our Club Bingo returns to the CBS Hall at
8:30 pm where the jackpot is €1150.
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.
