Club Notes - 17th January

Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €7000 as on Sunday night Jonathan O’Donovan was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 38 which when turned was not the joker but he did win €50. Peggy Walsh and Liam Enright 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.

Under 21 Hurling
Our under 21 hurlers travelled to Dunhill on Sunday last to take on De La Salle in the 2017 County Final. Conditions on the day were far from ideal for hurling but credit to both teams they served up a very entertaining game. Our opponents struck for an early goal and held the advantage at the break. As the second half progressed De La Salle extended their lead but great credit to our team they refused to give in and a goal from a penalty put the game right back into the melting pot with time almost up. Unfortunately we couldn’t find the scores to secure a draw and it was our opponents who hit the final score to run out winners by 4 points.
We would like to thank the players and management team involved with the lads for all their commitment during what was a very long playing season for them.
TEAM: S. RYAN, C. McCARTHY, J. ELSTED, M. TWOMEY, M. COLEMAN, C. PRUNTY, J. DUGGAN, D. McGRATH, D. LOOBY, N. MONTGOMERY, J. BERESFORD, S. WHELAN BARRETT, T. LOOBY, S. DALY, E. KIELY.
SUBS: S. CLIFFE, K. DWANE, S. AHERNE.

Underage Footballer of the Year
On Friday night last the 2017 Waterford County Board Awards night took place in Lawlors Hotel where Aaron Beresford was nominated for Underage Footballer of the Year.  Unfortunately Aaron wasn’t successful in winning the award but we congratulate him on being nominated for this prestigious award.

Booking of Pitches

Club Bingo
Our club bingo session continues in the CBS Hall this Friday night with a jackpot of €1500.
