AGM

Our Annual General Meeting took place in Ballinroad Hall on Saturday night last, where there was a very good turnout to review the activities in the club in 2017 and to plan for 2018. Following a moments silence to remember those members who passed away this year, the first item on the agenda was the Treasurer’s Report. As usual Pakie Hurney's report gave a very detailed account of the club accounts and all those present were left in no doubt of the huge amount of work that goes into raising the money needed to run our club every year. Pakie thanked all those who work so hard to raise these funds and thanked our main club sponsors  Adesco for their  continued support of the club.

Following this Tomás Kiely's Secretary's Report gave a most comprehensive review of the club activities both on and off the field.  Whilst we would all have wished for better results at Senior Level this year Tomás referenced the large amount of serious injuries we had this year and the fact that a number of players got their Senior debuts in 2017. Also the victory by our Junior hurlers in the County Final and the Under 21 hurlers Western Title give further hope for the future.

Our Chairman Michael Briggs then gave his inaugural address as Club Chairman.  Michael thanked all those who worked so hard for the club throughout the year, from our Juvenile Section right through to the Senior Club. In praising the work of our hardworking volunteers Michael appealed for more people to get involved in working for the club to help lessen the burden on those already doing this work. Michael also gave details of a planned Health and Wellbeing Initiative which is hoped to be up and running in early 2018. Michael concluded his address by congratulating Austin Flynn on being inducted into the Munster GAA Hall of Fame.

The election of officers then took place with the following elected.

Presidents: Austin Flynn, Liam Enright, Éamonn Keane, Joseph Organ, Jimmy O’Leary, Bernard Shields, Fr. Michael Enright, P.E.

Vice Presidents: Fr. Michael Brennock, OSA, Fr. Colin Fives, OSA, Fr. Ned Hassett, PP

Senior Manager

At a club committee meeting after the AGM Peter Queally was ratified as manager of our Senior Hurling and Football teams for 2018. His selectors Shane Briggs and Laurence Hurney were also ratified and we wish them the very best of luck for the year ahead.

Club Winter Raffle

Tickets for our club winter raffle are now on sale throughout the parish with a number of attractive prizes on offer including heating fuels such as home heating oil, timber and coal. The draw will take place in January and we appeal to all our supporters to please support the draw as best you can.

Munster GAA Hall of Fame

On behalf of all in the club we would like to congratulate our own Austin Flynn on being selected as the recipient of this year's Munster GAA Hall of Fame Award Winner. This is a fantastic and most deserved award for Austin who was of course selected at full back on the Waterford Hurling team of the Millennium.

During his illustrious playing career with Waterford Austin won 3 Munster Titles, 1 National League and of course he was on the team that captured Waterford's last All Ireland title in 1959. Austin was a near permanent fixture at full back during this Golden Age for the Déise, and his fine performances were acknowledged when he was selected on the Munster team which won the 1960 Railway Cup.

Throughout this time Austin gave great service to our club but unfortunately County Senior Hurling honours eluded the team as they suffered defeat in four County Finals. Austin remains an extremely popular figure in our Club to this day, is always generous with his time and is most willing to offer help and advice whenever he is asked.

Once again we congratulate "Austeen" on this wonderful award and thank Munster Council for acknowledging a true giant of the game.

Western U21 'A' Hurling Champions

Congratulations to our U21 hurlers and management team on their magnificent 1-15 to 2-10 victory over neighbours Dungarvan in last night's Western Final Replay. We held a narrow 1-4 to 0-6 lead at half time, our goal coming from Seán Whelan Barrett. The second half was nip and tuck and at the final whistle we emerged winners by two points. This is our second divisional title in two years and seventh in all. We await the winners of the Eastern Championship in the County Final.

Sympathy

On Saturday morning last all in our club were left in a state of deep shock as word of the tragic death of Philip Cashin spread throughout our parish. Like all the members of the Cashin family, Philip was deeply involved with the club all of his life and indeed he had played in goal for us in the Western Junior Football Final on Sunday morning last against Kilgobnet.

Being a member of a family so synonymous with our club and living so close to our own pitch it was only natural that Philip played with the club from a young age where he quickly established himself as a fine goalkeeper in both hurling and football. Philip’s brothers both played with the club and his father Eddie of course captained the Club to Senior Football County honours, whilst his uncles all wore the club colours with distinction. Philip was deeply proud of this legacy and was keen to continue on this proud family tradition. The team that Philip came up through the ages with had many notable victories, none more so than in 2009 when they won a County Minor Hurling Championship, by defeating Clashmore in the County Final, making up for losing the Minor Football Final earlier in the same year. In 20012 Philip was again in goal for the under 21 Football team who firstly defeated Dungarvan in a thrilling Western Final, before going onto defeat Roanmore in the County Final. The same year the team continued their progress on the hurling front by qualifying for the Western Final, where they narrowly lost to a strong Lismore team. In 2013 Philip once again lined out in goal for our under 21 football team who staged a dramatic comeback in the Western Final to seal a memorable win against St. Olivers. Throughout all of these successful campaigns Philip was an assured and commanding presence in goal and saved many certain goals, without which the team would not have won as many honours.

Philip continued to play for the club after finishing at under 21 level, playing in goal for both codes and was never found wanting in helping the club whenever he was called upon to do so. Whilst all involved in the club are still in shock at Philip’s untimely passing, our sense of loss is insignificant compared to the heartbreak being experienced by his family and circle of close friends. All we can do is offer our help and support to the Cashin family and assure them that the club will be there for them in the dark days that lie ahead for them. Once again we send our sympathies to Philip’s heartbroken parents Eddie and Jacinta, sister Clíodhna, brothers Éamonn and Thomas and all the members of his extended family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

County U15 Division 1 Football Champions

Congratulations to our U15 panel and management on their superb 1-12 to 2-4 victory over Tramore in the County Division 1 Football Final played at Fraher Field this evening.  The lads produced a wonderful first half performance to lead by eight points and withstood a strong fightback by their Eastern opponents in the second to deservedly take the title by five points.

Junior Hurling

Our Junior hurlers defeated De La Salle in the County Final on Friday night last in Carrickbeg. Despite the poor weather conditions on the night it turned out to be a very entertaining and competitive game of hurling.  Having taken the lead early in the game with some well taken goals we held on to lead right up to the full time whistle to maintain our unbeaten run in the Junior championship in 2017. We would like to thank all the players for their commitment throughout the year and to the management team for all the hard work they put in behind the scenes during the year. It was fitting that the cup was presented to one of our greatest servants Gavin Breen after the game.

TEAM: S. RYAN, C. McCARTHY, G. BREEN, M. COLEMAN, S. BRIGGS, P. LYNCH, D. HENLEY, D. SWEENEY, P. COLLINS, E. ENRIGHT, D. HICKEY, M. FIVES, M. MAHER, L. HURNEY, R. RYAN.

Junior Football

On Sunday morning last we took on Kilgobnet in the Western Junior Football Final in Leamybrien.  After playing against the strong breeze in the first half we only trailed by 2 points at half time but despite a great effort by the team in the second half it was Kilgobnet who emerged victorious and we wish them the best of luck in the County Final.
