Junior Football
After a break for a number of years our Junior Football team will once again compete in the Western Championship this year and they open their campaign on Friday night when they take on Colligan in Bushy Park at 7:30 pm.

Welcome Home
It was great to see John Phelan home from Australia for a short visit last weekend where he took up “maor uisce” duties at our Championship game against Rathgormack.  John was a huge loss to our club when he emigrated to Australia some years ago but it was fantastic to hear that he and his family are enjoying their time in Australia and we hope that it won’t be too long before we see “ Fee Fee” back to visit us again soon.

County Minor
We would like to wish the Waterford Minor Footballers especially Conor Prunty, Kevin Dwane, John Elstead, David Looby, Conor McCarthy, Neil Montgomery, Eoin Kiely and Darragh McGrath the very best of luck ahead of their Munster Championship opener against Tipperary in Thurles this Wednesday night. We also wish Gary Hurney the very best of luck in his role as team coach for the match.

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 €1,350.
