Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night
in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €7400 as on Sunday night Sandra
Cliffe was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 22 which when turned was
not the joker but she did win €50. Maurice O'Donnell and Cat Dee 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 Football
Our 2017 County Semi Final against The Nire takes place this Saturday at
2pm in the Gold Coast.
Inter County Activity
On Sunday last Waterford footballers secured a very good draw against
Wicklow in Round 1 of the National League where Stephen Enright and Brian Looby
were on the team and Michael O Halloran and Conor McCarthy were on the panel.
This Sunday they play Antrim in Carriganore.
Best of Luck
On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish Ardmore the very best
of luck ahead of their Junior All Ireland Hurling Club Final in Croke Park this
Sunday.
Booking
of Pitches
As our teams begin returning to training we would like to
remind all our coaches to please ensure that they book the pitches with Michael
O’Donovan before training.
Club Bingo
Our club bingo session continues in the CBS Hall this Friday night with
a jackpot of €1550.
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our sympathies to the
Hurney family and especially Pakie Hurney, on the death of his mother Sheila
Hurney in Moycullen, Galway last weekend. Pakie has been our club treasurer for
nearly 20 years now and has managed numerous club teams to County Championship
honours, whilst Sheila’s grandsons have all given fantastic service to our club
on the playing field where they have won many County Titles in both codes and
Sheila always took great pride in their achievements.
We also wish to send our sympathies to the Gorman family and especially
Mary Gorman on the death of her father Paddy Coburn who passed away this week.
Whilst Mary's husband Bernard has of course been a great servant to the club
Mary has given a huge amount to our club for more than 20 years. Mary is always
willing to lend a hand with catering for club functions and the treasure trove
of photos she has amassed following our teams for two decades or more as one of
our most loyal supporters will no doubt prove to be a valuable resource in the
years ahead. Paddy’s grandsons have of course won many County Titles with the
club from Juvenile up to Senior Level and Paddy loved to watch the lads playing
on his visits to Abbeyside.
Once again we send our sympathies to Pakie Hurney and Mary Gorman on
their losses.
