Club Notes - 15th November

Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €5200 as on Sunday night Catherine Power was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 5 which when turned was not the joker but she did win €50. Tony and Siobhan and the Cosgrave 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 Football
We play the Nire this Thursday night at 8 pm in Fraher Field in the County Championship

Junior Hurling
Our Junior hurlers defeated De La Salle in the County Final on Friday night last in Carrickbeg. Despite the poor weather conditions on the night it turned out to be a very entertaining and competitive game of hurling.  Having taken the lead early in the game with some well taken goals we held on to lead right up to the full time whistle to maintain our unbeaten run in the Junior championship in 2017. We would like to thank all the players for their commitment throughout the year and to the management team for all the hard work they put in behind the scenes during the year. It was fitting that the cup was presented to one of our greatest servants Gavin Breen after the game.
TEAM: S. RYAN, C. McCARTHY, G. BREEN, M. COLEMAN, S. BRIGGS, P. LYNCH, D. HENLEY, D. SWEENEY, P. COLLINS, E. ENRIGHT, D. HICKEY, M. FIVES, M. MAHER, L. HURNEY, R. RYAN.
SUBS: K. DWANE, D. LOOBY, S. O'CONNOR.

Junior Football
On Sunday morning last we took on Kilgobnet in the Western Junior Football Final in Leamybrien.  After playing against the strong breeze in the first half we only trailed by 2 points at half time but despite a great effort by the team in the second half it was Kilgobnet who emerged victorious and we wish them the best of luck in the County Final.

AGM
Our Annual General Meeting will take place in Ballinroad Hall on Saturday December 9th at 8pm.
