Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues

Collins was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 4 which wasn’t the
Joker but he did win €50. Anna Fahey and Orla won €25 each. As well as our
group of ticket sellers tickets can be purchased from Village Flowers, Spar, Mousies

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 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.
Club Bingo
Our club bingo session continues in the CBS Hall this
Sunday night with a jackpot of €600.
