Jack The Joker
 |
| No. Drawn - 39 |
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night
in Alice O’Connors where the jackpot is €4,400 as on Sunday night last Mai
Donnelly was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 39, which when turned
was not the Joker though she did win €50. Jack Kiely and Aidan Landers 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, Abbeyside Post Office and Crotty’s Corner Bar.
Senior Football
We played out first match in the County Senior Championship on Friday
night last when we took on Ring in Fraher Field. Trailing at half time by 3
points we played much better in the second half to lead by a point with time
almost up, but Ring pointed in injury time to earn a deserved draw. This
Saturday night we play St.Saviours in Kill in our second game of the
championship. Bizzarely our request to play this game mid week this week was
turned down by the CCC despite clubs being told that mid week games will have
to be played to finish the Championship. So while all the other clubs in the
Senior Hurling Championship prepare for the Championship by playing Sargent Cup
games this weekend we will be playing a football match we offered to play
Tuesday or Wednesday night. It will be interesting to see how consistent the
County CCC will be with fixing games mid week in the months ahead.
Intermediate Football
On Wednesday night last we played Modeligo in our pitch, the second
round of the Western Championship. A much improved performance by the side form
their first round game saw them earn a hard earned draw on the night.
Junior Football
Our Junior Footballers, who are this year taking part in the Western
Premier Junior Football Championship, got their campaign under way on Saturday
afternoon last when they took on Colligan in Dungarvan. In the first half we
found the step up from last year hard to handle as Colligan led convincingly at
half time. However in the second half the team played much better to show that
they are capable of competing at this level in the months ahead.
Booking of Pitches
As teams start back training over the next few weeks we remind all team
managers that they must book the pitches/astro turf with Michael O’Donovan
prior to training and also managers are asked to remember that the main pitch
remains closed until further notice.
Club Bingo
Our club bingo will continue this Sunday night in the CBS Hall with a jackpot
of €1350.
