Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night
in Crotty’s Bar where the jackpot is €5,600 as on Sunday Sean McGrath were
drawn out of the drum and chose card number 11 which wasn’t the Joker but he
did win €50. Rose Cosgrave and Switchie O’Donnell 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.
Membership
As the playing season draws ever nearer we would ask all members both
playing and ordinary to please get your membership paid as soon as possible. It
can be paid to Membership Officer Pat Keane, or any Committee Member. The onus
is on intending members to hand their membership fee over and players should be
aware that they are not eligible to play for the club if they don’t pay their
membership.
Championship Draws
The various Championship draws took place last week and can be viewed in
full on our club Facebook page. In Senior Football we will play Rathgormack in
the first round of new structure to the championship, whilst in Senior Hurling
we play Dungarvan, Tallow, De La Salle, Ballygunner and Ballyduff Upper in that
order. In under 21 Hurling we will play St Carthages in the Western Semi Final,
in Junior B Hurling our opponents are Tallow, Ballyduff Upper, Fourmilewater,
Lismore and Dungarvan whilst our Junior C hurlers have plenty of games as they
will take on Modeligo, Ring, Kilgobnet, Clashmore, Brickeys, Mellary, Shamrocks
and Cappoquin. Our Intermediate football team will play Modeligo, Geraldines,
Colligan, Stradbally, Dungarvan and Ballyduff Upper and our Junior Footballers
will play Dungarvan, Kilgobnet and Geraldines. The draw for Under 21 Football
was not made yet but it is likely that this team will be our first team in
Championship action in 2017 in the coming weeks.
Field Bookings
We ask that all team managers book their times for training/matches with
Michael O’Donovan in advance of returning to training. Managers must notify
Michael in advance if they wish to change from their allocated time.
Club Leisure Wear
The designs for our new club leisure wear can now be viewed on the club
website and Facebook page. So far there has been an extremely good response to
the gear, which will be worn by all our teams in 2017 and 2018. It is available
from size 5/6 years right up to all adult sizes, and it is open to all our club
supporters and players to purchase the gear. As it will personalised with
initials we will require full payment upfront when ordering the gear. Orders
will be taken in the clubhouse on Friday nights February 3rd and 10th
from 6:45 to 8pm and Sunday February 5th and 12th
from 11am to 12pm. Please note we will not be accepting any orders after
February 12th.
National Draw
Tickets are currently for sale from all Committee members for the GAA
National Draw. There are some fantastic prizes on offer such as a car and
holidays, but the great thing about the draw is that the club retains all of
the €10 which the ticket costs. Therefore you are doing your bit to support the
club whilst also having a chance to win some fantastic prizes.
Club Bingo
This week our club bingo session returns to the CBS Hall with a jackpot
of €400.
