Club Notes - 16th May


Jack The Joker
Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €10400 as on Sunday night Johnny Burns was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 45 which when turned was not the joker but he did win €50. Patrick O'Brien and Chopper and Lois 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.

Minor Football
On Sunday afternoon last our Minor Footballers travelled to Kill to take on Rathgormack in a repeat of last year’s County Final. Like last year’s game it was a very exciting game, with a well taken goal giving our lads a slender halftime lead. Our opponents kept fighting throughout the second half and the result hung in the balance until some well taken points late on left us assured of victory.
The victory completed a great 6 weeks for our club that saw us win the 2017 and 2018 Under 21 County titles and this Minor win was a testament to the great work done by their management team not alone this year but over the past number of years. Once again we say well done to all the players and management team involved.

Last Man Standing
With the Premiership season drawing to a close last week our hugely successful Last Man Standing Fundraiser finished last week where we had joint winners in Anthony O'Loughlin and Mobby Guiry. We would like to thank all those who helped make it such a success and a special thanks to our sponsor Pat Keane of Willow and Oak for his generous sponsorship of the prize.

Munster Championship
On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish the Waterford Senior Footballers the very best of luck ahead of their Munster Championship match against Tipperary this Saturday night.  We especially wish our own Stephen Enright, Brian Looby and Conor McCarthy the very best of luck.

Tickets
Like all clubs in the County we are only receiving 4 stand tickets for Waterford's match against Clare in Ennis next week. If any paid up members wish to enter a draw for these tickets they should give their name to Tomás Kiely by this Sunday evening.

Our Junior C hurlers have a busy weekend this weekend as they play two matches. Firstly they play Cappoquin on Friday night in Cappoquin at 7:30pm and then on Sunday morning they play Ballysaggart at 12:30 in Cappoquin.

Senior Football
We played Clashmore in the County League on Sunday morning last in Abbeyside and at the end of a very entertaining game we came away with a good win. This Sunday morning we play Ardmore in Abbeyside at 12pm.

Booking of Pitches
As our teams return to training we would like to remind all our coaches to please ensure that they book the pitches with Michael O’Donovan before training.
