Club Notes - 2nd August

Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €2200 as on Sunday night Joe Power was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 7 which when turned was not the joker but he did win €50. Moira Mansfield and Teresa Kiely 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 Bar.

Senior Football
Last Sunday night we played An Rinn in round 2 of the Senior Football Championship in Fraher Field where after what can best be described as a disappointing performance we were defeated by a better side.
TEAM: S. ENRIGHT, C. McCARTHY, S. O'HARE, D. COLLINS, D. McGRATH, S. BRIGGS, C. PRUNTY, J .O'MAHONY, J. BERESFORD, M. O'HALLORAN, P. HURNEY, N. MONTGOMERY, J. ELSTED, M. FERNCOMBE, G. HURNEY.

Intermediate Football
This Friday night we play Dungarvan in Dungarvan Club Grounds at 7:30pm.

Fitting Tribute
On last Friday night we held a mist deserved tribute to Club President Bernard Shields. The format for the night was a This is Your Life and MC Bob O'Brien did an excellent job in bringing the huge attendance through Bernard's service to the club. It was wonderful to see such a huge crowd present for this fitting tribute to Bernard with many traveling from afar to pay tribute to Bernard. We would like to thank Pat O’Brien and all the staff of Minnies Bar for their hospitality on the night.

Deuces Wild
We would like to thank all those who supported our fundraiser in Creation last Friday night. Your support of our club was greatly appreciated.

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.

Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the late Bernie Reynolds who passed away recently.  Bernie’s sons and grandsons won numerous county titles in the club colours and we again send our sympathies to Bernie's husband Tommy, sons Tommy, Mark and Pat and daughters Christine and Paula.
We also extend our sympathies to the family and friends of the late Paddy Power who passed away last weekend.  Paddy served the people of Abbeyside for many years as a member of Dungarvan UDC and Waterford County Council. Paddy’s sons Robert and Patrick both wore the club jersey and we again extend our sympathies to the Power family.

Club Bingo
Our club bingo session continues in the CBS Hall this Sunday night with a jackpot of €1650.
