This Sunday night promises to be a very special night indeed at our bingo as it marks the 30th anniversary of our club bingo. Over those 30 years the bingo has provided us with much needed funds, and it is safe to say that without these funds we simply would not have been able to run our club in the manner which we have during that time. We are most grateful to our loyal supporters who continue to turn out in such great numbers every Sunday night, whilst we are indebted to the very small group who keep the bingo going every Sunday night and who have done so for the last 30 years. To celebrate the event this Sunday night we will have a number of extra prizes on offer, while there will no bingo on Sunday December 27th.

Australian Rules
On Thursday night last there was a buzz of excitement around the Burgery, as we welcomed two Australian rules teams to Abbeyside, who were on a tour of Ireland. We played them in two games, one at under 15 level and one at under 16 level. While we were defeated in both games this was a great experience for our lads to test themselves against some of the best Australian Rules players at their respective age groups. There was a large turnout on the night despite the poor weather conditions and everyone enjoyed the games. A big feature of both games was seeing how our lads adapted to playing the last quarter in each match with an oval ball which was a completely new experience for them and of course the tackle. A big thank you to everyone involved in the organisation of this visit and especially to our parents who put the kids from Australia up for the night. Also to Pierce Flynn and his team in the Park Hotel a big thank you for making sure all our visitors and our own lads were well fed and watered on the night. After the meal in the Park a piece of crystal was presented to our visitors on behalf of the club as a souvenir of their trip to Abbeyside. Also all the visiting players got to take home a personal certificate of their trip. Thank you to all.

1965 Intermediate Football Reunion

On Saturday night last at the Gold Coast Hotel a very pleasant function took place to honour the Ballinacourty team that won the County Intermediate Football Championship in 1965, 50 years ago. The comprehensive 3-9 to 1-0 win over Rathgormack saw the club promoted to the senior ranks for the first time. It was great to see so many of the players looking hale and hearty on the night while thoughts were also of those who have gone to their eternal reward since that breakthrough victory. Thanks to all involved in organising such an enjoyable occasion.

Australian Visit

On Thursday night last, our club welcomed the Wanderers Australian Rules U15 and U16 teams to the Burgery for two games under lights against Ballinacourty's age equivalent players. The rules were a hybrid of Gaelic Football and Australian Rules and the games proved to be very entertaining with tremendous skill on display from both panels. Three of the four quarters were played with the round ball while the final period saw the oval ball being used. We would like to thank the Australian players, mentors and parents for their visit and wish them a safe journey home. Thanks to Audrey Hallahan for providing us with the photos below which are a wonderful record of the event.

Next on the agenda was the Secretary’s Report and once again Jonathan O’Donovan produced a very detailed report on all areas of club activity during 2015. All in the club are aware of the many hours put in by Jonathan in administering the club business and we are fortunate to have somebody so diligent carrying out this role.
It was then time for the Chairman’s Address where Bernard Shields thanked all those who worked for the club in 2015 in any way. Bernard appealed for more people to get involved in the club in 2016 to help in any way they feel they can help. Bernard thanked all the players who played for any of our teams during 2015 and while we would all have wished for a more successful year on the playing fields, it was still a year which saw us win Divisional and County Honours at Adult Level as well as many Underage Titles.

On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our deepest sympathies to the family and many friends of the late Kathleen Woods (nee Organ), Shears Street, Abbeyside who passed away last week. Kathleen’s family has many connections with our club for generations on the playing field and they continue to support the club today. Once again we send our sympathies to Kathleen’s husband John, daughter Patricia and son Seán on their loss.
We would also like to send our sympathy to the family of the late Kevin Keating, Leamybrien who passed away recently. Kevin was a familiar face to the field workers in the club as he often helped out with maintaining the machinery in the field.

Under 15 Hurling
On Sunday morning last we travelled to Old Parish for the Western Under 15 Hurling Final against a gallant St Oliver’s outfit. There was a late venue change as the Fraher Field had played host to many games over the previous twenty four hours. It was a very windy morning in Old Parish and conditions for hurling were far from ideal. However from the start our lads adjusted better to the conditions and over the hour played some good hurling. We won on a score line of 5-9 to St Oliver’s 0-7 in the end. Well done to everyone on the panel and to the selectors who have given up much of their valuable time to help this group over the years. We now go on next Sunday morning to face Roanmore in the County Final at an Eastern venue which has yet to be decided. Good luck to all involved again.
