Club Notes - 27th September

Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Saturday night in Alice O’Connors Bar where the jackpot is €3800 as on Sunday night Edel Keane was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 10 which when turned was not the joker but she did win €50. Jim Egan and Kevin Hally 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 Hurling
On Sunday afternoon last we played Ballygunner in Walsh Park in round 4 of the Championship. Similar to last week we were short a number of players here and unfortunately suffered a heavy defeat. This Sunday we play Ballyduff Upper in Fraher Field at 3:30.  No doubt all involved with team realise this game will require our best performance of the year and an increase in our own intensity and pride are much needed.
TEAM: S. ENRIGHT, J. DUGGAN, B. LOOBY, S. O'HARE, E. BRACKETT, C. PRUNTY, J. O'MAHONY, D. COLLINS, J. ELSTED, P. HURNEY, J. BERESFORD, S. CROTTY, S. DALY, M. FERNCOMBE, M. O'HALLORAN.
SUBS: M. POWER, E. KIELY, S. CLIFFE.

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. At half time we led by 2 points but at the full time whistle it was Kilgobnet who were ahead and we wish them the best of luck in the final. 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.
TEAM: SEÁN KIELY, PAUL BREEN, DENIS BYRNE, STEPHEN O’CONNOR, CORMAC DWYER, JOEY MULLEN, SHANE O’GORMAN, TONY COLLINS, BARRY HENLEY, OWEN YOUNG, RUAIRI CONWAY, JAMIE ORGAN, JOHNNY RIORDAN, RONAN SHEEHAN, DARRAGH WALSH.
SUB: JOE WALSH.
