drawn out of the drum and chose card number 22 which wasn’t the Joker but he
did win €50. Kurt Shrubb and Lauren Cliffe won €25 each. As well as our group
of ticket sellers tickets can be purchased from Village Flowers, Spar, Mousies
Takeaway, Minnies Bar,Abbeyside Post Office and Crottys Corner Bar.
Under
21 Hurling
Our under 21 hurlers brought the curtain down on our 2016
playing season on Sunday last when they took on De La Salle in the County Final
in Fraher Field. Despite going into the game as underdogs the lads played with
great spirit in the first half and led by two points with half time
approaching, only for De La Salle to hit a late goal to give them the lead at
the interval. Unfortunately it was a lead they weren’t to surrender for the
remainder of the match as they ran out deserving winners at the fulltime whistle.
Great credit must go to our team though not alone for the manner in which they
kept fighting right to the end of the game but also the way in which they
hurled throughout the Championship. They have made fantastic progress this year
and with such a young team hopefully it won’t be too long before the Tony
Mansfield Cup comes back to Abbeyside. We thank the players and the management
team of Donncha, the two Michaels and Donal for all the commitment they gave to
the team during the year.

Greetings
On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish all our
members and supporters a Happy and Peaceful Christmas. We especially think of
those who are traveling home to our Parish to spend Christmas with family and
we hope they enjoy the holidays in Abbeyside. We would also like to thank the
editor and staff of the Dungarvan Leader and Observer for all their help and
support throughout 2016. Nollaig Shona

Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to extend our
deepest sympathies to the family and many friends of the late Emma Flynn,
Murphy Place who passed away over the weekend. Like all the Flynn family Emma
was a life long supporter and worker for our club. A talented camoige player in
her day Emma gave a lifetime of service to our club, especially when it came to
fundraising. Emma was a constant presence at our weekly Bingo sessions for over
30 years and was never found wanting when it came to carry out any role asked
of her in the club. Members of the Flynn family continue that tradition in our
club today and once again we send our sympathies to her family but especially
to Robert, Shelly, Sheron and Collette and to her brother Peter.
