Club Notes - 11th October

Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Alice O’Connors Bar where the jackpot is €4200 as on Sunday night Agnes Phelan was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 29 which when turned was not the joker but she did win €50. Claire Cosgrave and The Walsh family 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 Saturday night last we played Lismore in Fraher Field in the quarter final the Championship. The game turned out to a thrilling encounter and was surely the best game in the Championship to date. After a great opening quarter there was little between the sides, but for the following 20 minutes or so it was Lismore who took over and with 15 minutes remaining they looked to be cruising to a comfortable win. However to our young team's credit they showed remarkable courage and no little skill to battle back into the game. With the game heading into injury time the sides were level and extra time looked a possibility only for Lismore to hit the winning point.
Whilst defeat was our lot on the day it was a heartening performance from our team especially given our difficulties in previous matches due to injuries etc. It was also great to see three young minors making their Senior Championship debuts on the night and we thank all the players and management team for their efforts and commitment during the year.
