Jack The Joker
 |
| No. Drawn - 15 |
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night
in Alice O’Connors where the jackpot is €5,600 as on Sunday night last Kevin
Barry was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 15, which when turned was
not the Joker though he did win €50. Colm O’Hare and Shane Briggs 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.
U2 Visit The Burgery
On Friday morning last whilst all of the national media attention was
focused on Croke Park and that night’s concert by Bruce Springsteen, we had our
very own international music superstars U2 in our club grounds. The band were
paying a flying visit to the area to attend an anniversary mass and landed
their helicopter in our pitch, where they were greeted by our club chairman and
secretary, and other club members. Unfortunately they were unable to persuade
the band to agree to play a fundraising concert in the field, but they did make
them feel most welcome in our club grounds.
Intermediate Football
We played our third match of the Western Championship on Friday night
when we played Ballyduff Upper in Fraher Field. On the night the team played
some very good football to run out deserving winners and boost our hopes of
qualifying for the knock out stages of the championship.
