Club Notes - 8th April

Jack The Joker
No. Drawn - 25
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €6,000. On Sunday night last Nicky Power was drawn out and chose card number 25 which wasn’t the Joker although she did win €50. Kathleen Flynn and Paula Dunford 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.


Under 21 Football
On Friday night last our young under 21 team gave a great account of themselves in the County Final against Rathgormack and while unfortunately they were defeated on the night they can certainly feel very proud of their performance. After their opening round defeat to St. Oliver’s the team improved throughout the campaign and we thank the players and management for the commitment they showed over the last number of weeks.  
TEAM: K. DWANE, J. DUGGAN, B. LOOBY, C. DWYER, C. McCARTHY, E. BERGIN, C. McCARTHY, C. PRUNTY, J. ELSTED, D. LOOBY, M. MAHER, D. SWEENEY, M. COLEMAN, S. CLIFFE, N. MONTGOMERY.
SUBS: R. CONWAY, E. KIELY, D. McGRATH.

Senior Football
This Sunday afternoon we play Rathgormack in Fraher Field in the first round of the County Championship.

Intermediate Football
We play Ballyduff Upper in the opening round of the Western Championship in Colligan this Sunday night at 7pm.

County Minor Hurling
We would like to wish the Waterford Minor Hurlers especially Conor Prunty and Darragh McGrath the very best of luck ahead of their Munster Championship opener against Tipperary in Thurles this Wednesday night.

Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our sympathies to Frank Sweeney on the death of his brother Ned in Kildorrery last week. Frank’s son David showed great club spirit by lining out for the club in the County Final on Friday night last despite the death of his uncle and once again we send our sympathy to Frank and all the Sweeney family on the death of Ned.

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 €1,300.
