AGM
Our Annual General Meeting took place in Ballinroad Hall on Saturday night last, where there was a very good turnout to review the activities in the club in 2017 and to plan for 2018. Following a moments silence to remember those members who passed away this year, the first item on the agenda was the Treasurer’s Report. As usual Pakie Hurney's report gave a very detailed account of the club accounts and all those present were left in no doubt of the huge amount of work that goes into raising the money needed to run our club every year. Pakie thanked all those who work so hard to raise these funds and thanked our main club sponsors  Adesco for their  continued support of the club.
Following this Tomás Kiely's Secretary's Report gave a most comprehensive review of the club activities both on and off the field.  Whilst we would all have wished for better results at Senior Level this year Tomás referenced the large amount of serious injuries we had this year and the fact that a number of players got their Senior debuts in 2017. Also the victory by our Junior hurlers in the County Final and the Under 21 hurlers Western Title give further hope for the future.
Our Chairman Michael Briggs then gave his inaugural address as Club Chairman.  Michael thanked all those who worked so hard for the club throughout the year, from our Juvenile Section right through to the Senior Club. In praising the work of our hardworking volunteers Michael appealed for more people to get involved in working for the club to help lessen the burden on those already doing this work. Michael also gave details of a planned Health and Wellbeing Initiative which is hoped to be up and running in early 2018. Michael concluded his address by congratulating Austin Flynn on being inducted into the Munster GAA Hall of Fame.
The election of officers then took place with the following elected.

Presidents: Austin Flynn, Liam Enright, Éamonn Keane, Joseph Organ, Jimmy O’Leary, Bernard Shields, Fr. Michael Enright, P.E.
Vice Presidents: Fr. Michael Brennock, OSA, Fr. Colin Fives, OSA, Fr. Ned Hassett, PP

Senior Manager
At a club committee meeting after the AGM Peter Queally was ratified as manager of our Senior Hurling and Football teams for 2018. His selectors Shane Briggs and Laurence Hurney were also ratified and we wish them the very best of luck for the year ahead.

Club Winter Raffle
Tickets for our club winter raffle are now on sale throughout the parish with a number of attractive prizes on offer including heating fuels such as home heating oil, timber and coal. The draw will take place in January and we appeal to all our supporters to please support the draw as best you can.

Munster GAA Hall of Fame
On behalf of all in the club we would like to congratulate our own Austin Flynn on being selected as the recipient of this year's Munster GAA Hall of Fame Award Winner. This is a fantastic and most deserved award for Austin who was of course selected at full back on the Waterford Hurling team of the Millennium.
During his illustrious playing career with Waterford Austin won 3 Munster Titles, 1 National League and of course he was on the team that captured Waterford's last All Ireland title in 1959. Austin was a near permanent fixture at full back during this Golden Age for the Déise, and his fine performances were acknowledged when he was selected on the Munster team which won the 1960 Railway Cup.
Throughout this time Austin gave great service to our club but unfortunately County Senior Hurling honours eluded the team as they suffered defeat in four County Finals. Austin remains an extremely popular figure in our Club to this day, is always generous with his time and is most willing to offer help and advice whenever he is asked.
Once again we congratulate "Austeen" on this wonderful award and thank Munster Council for acknowledging a true giant of the game.

Under 21 Hurling
On Saturday night last we took on Dungarvan in the Western Final replay in Fraher Field.  Similar to last week’s drawn game it was a typical local derby game with nothing between the teams throughout an absorbing contest.  Fortunately at the full time whistle we emerged as winners by 2 points and now await the winners of the Eastern Championship in the County Final.
TEAM: S. RYAN, C. McCARTHY, J. DUGGAN, M. COLEMAN, M. TWOMEY, C. PRUNTY, J. ELSTED, D. LOOBY, D. McGRATH, N. MONTGOMERY, J. BERESFORD, S. WHELAN BARRETT, E. KIELY, S. DALY, T. LOOBY.

Western U21 'A' Hurling Champions

Congratulations to our U21 hurlers and management team on their magnificent 1-15 to 2-10 victory over neighbours Dungarvan in last night's Western Final Replay. We held a narrow 1-4 to 0-6 lead at half time, our goal coming from Seán Whelan Barrett. The second half was nip and tuck and at the final whistle we emerged winners by two points. This is our second divisional title in two years and seventh in all. We await the winners of the Eastern Championship in the County Final.
