Congratulations
Ion behalf of all in the club we would like to congratulate Niamh Briggs
on captaining the Irish Ladies Rugby Team to the 6 Nations Title on Sunday.
Winning her 50th cap against Scotland on Sunday Niamh led the Irish
team to a huge victory over Scotland which earned the side the Triple Crown and
6 Nations Title. It is the latest in a long line of sporting successes by the
Abbeyside woman and we are sure there are still a number to come in the years
ahead.
Déise Development Draw
and Club Development Fund
Tickets for the 2015 Déise Development Draw are currently on sale
throughout the parish and we once again appeal to all our loyal supporters to
please come on board and support the draw as not only do you have the
opportunity to win some wonderful prizes but the draw is also a source of vital
income for the club. Tickets can be obtained from any Committee member and we
will be calling to the houses of the parish over the next number of weeks
promoting the draw.
Also the club are continuing on with our Development Fund the Club 300
initiative. This was a wonderful success for the last 5 years and we hope that
it will get the same great support this year. The money raised over the last 5
years enabled us to carry out all the Development work that has taken place in
the field and we hope to be in a position to carry on with further development
work in the not too distant future. In order to do this we require the support
of the community and we appeal to all those of you who are position to join the
300 Club to do so and help us to provide the very best facilities for our
Juvenile and Adult Players in the years to come.
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. Membership can be paid to Kevin Tobin or Pa Enright.
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 €1,200.
