| No. Drawn - 26 |
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night
in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €3,800. On Sunday night last Fiona
Flynn was drawn out and chose card number 26 which wasn’t the Joker although she
did win €50. Jim O’Mahony and Miguel Garcia won €25 each. As well as our group of ticket sellers tickets
can be purchased from Convenience Store Ballinroad, Village Flowers, Spar, Mousies
Takeaway, Minnies Bar and Crottys Corner Bar.
National Draw
Tickets for the GAA National Draw are currently on sale from any member
of our club committee and the adult players. There are some fantastic prizes on
offer in the draw with tickets costing €10 each all of which is retained by the
club. We would ask any ticket sellers to please return their tickets by January
23rd along with the money for these tickets.
Minor Football
Our minor footballer will get their County Championship Campaign
underway on the weekend of February 7th /8th away to
Rathgormack.
Inter County Duty
On Sunday last the Waterford Senior Footballers continued their good
start to the year with victory over Cork in the McGrath Cup. This was
Waterford’s first victory over Cork in Senior Football in over 50 years and
they now go in search of a first McGrath Cup title since 1981. Stephen Enright,
Michael O’Halloran and Patrick Hurney were all on the team and we wish them the
best of luck against UCC in the final this weekend in Fraher Field.
Membership
We would ask all players to please make an effort to get their
membership fees paid as soon as possible as any player who suffers an injury in
training or matches is not covered by insurance unless they have paid their
membership .
Booking of Fields
With a number of teams starting back training we would like to remind
all team managers to please ensure that they book the field with Michael
O’Donovan prior to training.
Club Bingo
Our Club Bingo will continue this Sunday night in the CBS Hall where the
jackpot is €750.
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our sympathies to the
family and friends of the late Jimmy O’Dea, Home Rule Street who passed away
last week. Jimmy played with the club for many years and this tradition was
continued on by Jimmy’s sons and his late brother Liam O’Dea served the club on
the playing fields and as an administrator for many years. Once again we send
our sympathies to all the O’Dea family especially to Jimmy’s wife Bridget,
daughter Siobhan, sons Ciaran, Timmy and Donncha and his sister Joan.
We would also like to send our sympathies to the Dwyer and Elstead families
on the death of Mrs. Mary Dwyer, Caseyville recently. Mrs. Dwyer’s grandsons
are very valued playing members of our underage and adult teams at present and
we once again send our sympathies to the family and many friends of Mrs. Dwyer
but especially to her daughters Eileen, Kay, Joan and Alice and to her sons
Noel, Liam, Anthony, Raymond and Michael.
