Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night
in Crotty’s Bar where the jackpot is €7,200 as on Sunday night Michael O’Donovan
was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 51 which wasn’t the Joker but he
did win €50. Emma Toal and Noah Landers 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.

Under 21 Football
This Friday night we play Stradbally in the first round of the County Championship
in Leamybrien at 8pm.
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.
