Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues
this Sunday night in Crotty’s Bar where the jackpot is €5,800 as on Sunday Brendan
Cosgrave was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 33 which wasn’t the
Joker but he did win €50. John Michael Duggan and Eleanor McGrath 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 Crotty’s
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.
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 night
February 10th from 6:45 to 8pm, Saturday February 11th
from 11am to 12pm and Sunday February 12th from 11am to 12pm. Please
note we will not be accepting any orders after February 12th.
Inter County Games
All in the club would like to congratulate Stephen
Enright, Brian Looby, Michael O’Halloran and Patrick Hurney and indeed all the
Waterford Senior Footballers on their win in the opening round of the NFL over
London in Ardmore on Sunday last. We wish them the best of luck ahead of this
Saturday night’s game against Wicklow in Carriganore.
Third Level and Post
Primary Schools Games
On Tuesday last UCC defeated DCU/St.Pat’s in the first
round of the Sigerson Cup and it was great to see Brian Looby getting a game in
this prestigious competition and we wish Brian the best of luck ahead of their
quarter final today against Carlow IT.
Meanwhile St. Augustine’s College continued their
excellent run of victories on Saturday last with a dramatic win over
Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí in the Munster Senior Football Semi Final in Limerick.
With time almost up the Friary lads trailed by 2 points but a goal by our own James
O’Riordan ensured that St Augustine’s will contest both Munster Finals in the
coming weeks and we wish them the very best in both games where a large number
of our players will be involved.
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
Our club bingo session continues in the CBS Hall this
Sunday night with a jackpot of €450.
