Club Notes - 15th June

Jack The Joker
No. Drawn - 3
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Alice O’Connors where the jackpot is €6,000 as on Monday night last Roisin Hurney was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 3, which when turned was not the Joker though she did win €50. Stephanie Byrne and Pat Earley 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 Hurling
Our Senior hurlers recorded their second win of the County Championship on Thursday evening last when they defeated Cappoquin in Colligan after a very competitive encounter. Well done to the Colligan venue for having their grounds in such excellent condition for the game and for stewarding the car parks before and after the game.

Senior Football League

Féile
This weekend after months of planning and hard work by our Juvenile Committee we will welcome Abbeyleix of Laois to Abbeyside for the weekend. Our club grounds will be a hive of activity on Friday and Saturday and we appeal to all club members to get out to the club grounds on Friday evening or Saturday morning to cheer on our own under 14s and to give our visitors and big welcome to the Deise. On Friday night there will be music by Liam Dalton and Ollie O Farrell in Alice O’Connors and all are welcome to come along on the night to mingle with our guests from Laois.

Hooli Long Puck
Following Waterford’s great win over Clare last Sunday the weekend of the Munster Final in July is sure to be full of excitement as hurling fans look forward to what will surely be a cracker of a game. Why not get into the spirit of the weekend by taking part in the first Hooli Long Puck in Dungarvan GAA Grounds on Saturday July 9th, which is in aid of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. Held in remembrance of the late David Hoolihan it promises to be a great success with entry forms available in Alice O’Connors and entrance is €10 per person. That night there will be the prize giving ceremony and raffle with wonderful prizes held in Lawlors Hotel, which should help get everyone in the form for the Munster Final the following day. For further information contact Michael O’Halloran.

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.

Club Bingo
Our club bingo will continue this Sunday night in the CBS Hall with a jackpot of €1750.
