Under 21 Football

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.

Post Primary Schools Games
On Friday last St Augustine’s College ended what has been a remarkable year for them by defeating St. Fintan’s College, Sutton in the All Ireland Colleges Hurling Final in Thomastown. In doing so they became the very first St Augustine’s team to win an All Ireland Hurling title, which in itself is an achievement to be proud of, but coming with winning a Munster Hurling and Football Double it makes it all the more remarkable. There were scenes of great joy after the full time whistle when Neil Montgomery was presented with the cup on behalf of a truly marvelous team.  We say well done to all the players, but especially to all our club members who were part of the team, and thank the teachers in the school for all the work they do to promote our games.

Club Bingo
Our club bingo session continues in the CBS Hall this Sunday night with a jackpot of €800.

Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our deepest sympathies to the family and many friends of the late Mary Fitzgerald, Ballinroad, who passed away last week. Mary was a great supporter of our club for all her life, but it was her role in a variety of fundraisers that she will be best remembered.  Mary was a regular at our Sunday night bingo in the CBS Hall since it began while she loved travelling the county for the monthly Déise Draw wherever it took place. Mary was a loyal supporter of Scór and she travelled the highways and byways of the county and indeed beyond supporting a variety of Club singers, musicians, novelty acts and quiz teams, and she took great delight in their successes. Mary will be dearly missed by all in the club especially her friends at the Sunday night bingo and once again we send our sympathies to her family of the sad loss.

Training
We had a fantastic turn out for our first night of training on Friday night. It was great to see the club grounds a hive of activity with all the different age groups, the rain held off long enough for us to get some training in.  Our next night of training is Friday, 24th March from 6pm until 7pm for U6, U8, U10, U12 and U13.  New members always welcome. This Friday is St. Patrick’s Day so there will be no training. We are walking in the parade with the boys so we are hoping to have as many kids as possible join us. We are meeting at Nugents Centra at 2:30 pm and please wear your Camoige half zip tops or blue and yellow tops.

Post Primary Schools Games
On Sunday last St.Augustine’s College recorded a huge win over Holy Rosary Mountbellew of Galway in the Semi Final of the All Ireland Colleges Hurling. To be able to record such a big win only a week after winning the Munster Football Championship is a great credit to the team and their management team. There’s no rest for the team though as this weekend they are back in action against Strokestown of Roscommon in the All Ireland Colleges Football Semi Final with no venue confirmed as of yet. We wish them the very best of luck as they seek to qualify for two All Ireland Finals in the same year.

Post Primary Schools Games
On Saturday last St.Augustine’s College continued their remarkable run of recent victories as they defeated Spanish Point in the Munster Colleges Football Final in Bansha. This victory completes a fantastic Munster Double for the Friary, an achievement all involved with the team should be enormously proud of.  Similar to the hurling team the previous week there was a very strong club representation on the team with Ballinacourty players contributing 3:11 out of the 3:13 scored by the Friary. The manner in which the team fought back from eight points down with ten minutes remaining, scoring the winning goal almost five minutes into injury time, is testament to the spirit the team have shown throughout all their games this year .  Again similar to last week it was wonderful to see a large number of club supporters in Bansha to support the team and see our own Tom Looby accept the trophy on behalf of this fine team. We thank the teachers who put so much work into preparing the team,  and wish the team the very best of luck in this Saturday ahead of their All Ireland Hurling Semi Final against Holy Rosary, Mountbellew.

Fitzgibbon Cup
On behalf of all in the club we would like to congratulate Eoin Kiely who was part of the Mary Immaculate College, panel who won the Fitzgibbon Cup on Saturday last.
