Junior C Hurling

We played Kilgobnet in the semi final of the Western Championship on Saturday evening last in Fraher Field. Despite being played in extremely poor weather conditions this turned out to be a most competitive and enjoyable game of hurling.

On behalf of all in the club we would like to thank the players and management for their commitment during the year, especially those who togged out on Saturday at short notice to ensure we had a team.

Sympathy

On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our sympathies to the family and friends of the late Maurice McHugh who passed away last week.  An All Ireland Minor hurling winner with Waterford in 1948 Maurice was a member of our Junior hurling winning team in 1950 and was on the first Abbeyside team to play Senior Hurling in 1951. Maurice remained a great supporter of the club throughout his life and we once again send our sympathies to Maurice's family and friends.
