Club Notes - 26th November

Jack The Joker
No. Drawn - 22
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €2450. On Sunday night last Margaret O’Brien was drawn out and chose card number 22 which wasn’t the Joker although she did win €50. James, Jack and Joey and Margaret O’Brien won €25 each.  As well as our group of ticket sellers tickets can be purchased from Convenience Store Ballinroad, Village Flowers, Spar, Mike Kiely’s Butchers, Mousies Takeaway, Minnies Bar and Crottys Corner Bar.


AGM
Our Annual General Meeting will take place on Friday 5th December in Scoil Mhuire, Abbeyside at 8pm.

Club Bingo
Our Club Bingo will continue this Sunday night in the CBS Hall where the jackpot is €1,850.

International Rules
On Saturday last Australia defeated Ireland in the once off Test in Perth, but prior to the match an exhibition Gaelic Football match took place comprising players form Western Australian GAA Clubs.  Taking part in the exhibition match was Eoin Brackett who is living in Perth for a few years now and indeed earlier in the year Eoin and Daryl Ryan were members of the Shamrocks team that won the Western Australia Hurling title, showing that both have lost none of the skills which saw them win numerous County Titles with us before departing for Australia. We believe that the Abbeyside contingent in Perth grew even more over the weekend with the arrival of a few tourists who no doubt enjoyed the Perth nightlife with great gusto!!

Munster Club
We would like to congratulate Cappoquin on their fantastic victory last Saturday in the Munster Intermediate Hurling Final and to wish both The Nire and Modeligo the very best of luck ahead of their Munster Final matches this weekend.

Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the late Johnny Enright who passed away recently. For generations now the Enright family have given great service and commitment to our club and this continues on the playing fields to this day. Once again we send our sympathies to all the Enright family on their sad loss.
