Club Notes - 26th August

Jack The Joker
No. Drawn - 1
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Minnies Bar where the jackpot is €4,600 as on Sunday night last Laurance Power was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 1 which wasn’t the Joker although he did win €50. Ned C/O Crow and Rita Power 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 Crotty’s Corner Bar.


Senior Football
On Saturday last our Senior Footballers returned to winning ways with a hard fought win over Ardmore in Fraher Field. We have one game remaining in the group stages of the Championship against Clashmore, which hasn’t be fixed yet.

Senior Hurling
This Sunday at 2pm we play Ballygunner in Kill in our 4th game of the Championship.

Congratulations
On behalf of all in the club we would like to congratulate Eoin Enright and Sarah O’Brien who announced their engagement recently.

Bon Voyage
As most of our supporters and members are probably aware by now Shane Briggs will not be available to our Senior teams for the remainder of this year or next year as he has travelled to Dubai where he has taken a teaching job for 2 years. Since making his adult debut as a 16 year old back in 1998 Shane has been an ever present on both hurling and football teams winning 3 County Senior Football and 2 Intermediate Hurling County titles along with many other underage titles. Throughout this time Shane always gave of his all in the club jersey and it is indeed an understatement that he will be sorely missed on both teams. We wish Shane the very best during his time in Dubai and hopefully he will return to wear the Club Jersey in the future.

Club Bingo
Our Club Bingo will continue this Sunday night in the CBS Hall where the jackpot is €950.


Juvenile Notes - 26th August

Underage Hurling
Underage hurling training for U5, 6, 7 and 8 will take place this Saturday morning 29th August in the club grounds. The session begins at 10:30. We are looking forward to seeing some of the new faces that participated in the ‘Hurling on the Green’ come and join in our regular Saturday sessions. All children are welcome to attend.

Minor Hurling
On Thursday last we took on Roanmore in the 5th round of the county minor hurling championship at home. After a good display by everyone involved we came away with victory on the night. We are now after winning all our matches in the group stages so far and have qualified for the knockout stages. Our next match at this level takes place on Thursday, 3rd September against Clonea in Clonea.

Under 16
On Monday of last week we took on De Le Salle in the under 16 hurling championship. On the night the city team were slicker and sharper to every ball and came away with a comprehensive victory. Our next match up here is next Monday night the 31st August at home to Mount Sion.

Under 15
Pride and place this week goes to our under 15 football team who on Sunday last won the Under 15 Western Football Final against a gallant St Oliver’s team. On the day the lads played some lovely football and many thanks must go to all the players and mentors involved.

Under 14
We were beaten in the 5th round of the County Under 14 Hurling Championship this week against Passage. Next match here is against Lismore in the quarter final on the 7th September.
We would like to wish everyone involved in the Tony Forristal and Sonny Walsh tournaments this weekend well. We have three players involved and of course we are represented on the Tony Forristal team by selector Michael Kelleher also.

Under 13
Our Under 13 hurlers were due to play Lismore last night Tuesday in the under 13 championship. At the time of going to print the result of this match was not available but will be included in next week’s notes.

Hurling on the Green
Hurling on the Green will take place this Wednesday night, 26th August between 7:00pm and 8:00pm in Sallybrook.
