Club Notes - 4th December


Under 19 Hurling Western Champions
Pride of place this week goes to our Under 19 hurlers who beat Saint Carthage’s in the Western Final last Sunday at the wonderfully appointed Gold Coast venue. Playing divisional finals in December is never ideal but conditions on the day were, if a little on the chilly side, more akin to what would be expected in mid-summer. Allied to the excellent playing surface both teams went on to produce an open, exciting game with no little skill on display from both sides.
Saint Carthage’s opened the brighter and it took our lads a little time to settle into the game but once they did we took a firm grip on proceedings and 2 well taken goals gave us a 7 point half time lead. The 2nd half followed a similar pattern with our opponents storming out of the blocks and before long had reduced the deficit to a single point. However, credit to our team, there was never any panic and we gradually reasserted our dominance and began to get on top. A number of nicely taken scores, including 2 further goals, gave us a comfortable 7 point margin at the final whistle on a score line Abbeyside 4-14 Saint Carthages 2-13.
Neil Moore in his capacity as Western Board chairman presented the cup to team captain Ben Flynn, who gave a fine acceptance speech.
There were some excellent individual displays on the day, but primarily this was a great team performance with every player contributing to a superb victory. Well done to all involved, from the players to manager Neil Moore and his team of mentors, Conor Prunty, James O Mahony, Joey Mullin and Eoin Kiely, all of whom it will be noted are current players. It is heartening to see adult players take such an active role in the development of younger teams within the club and long may it continue.
We now await the Eastern champions in the County Final with the hope being this will be played before Christmas.

PanelEoin Fitzgerald, Patrick Fitzgerald, Johnie Treen, Daire Slevin, Colin Foley, Cian Fagan, Seanie Lanigan, Ben Flynn (Capt), Daithi Brunnock, Eoin Ahern, Willie Beresford, Michael Kiely, Niall Buckley, Jamie Walsh, Oisin Hallahan, David Byrne, Conor Kent, DJ Kiely, Dean Beresford, Rian Walsh, Sean Roche, Ben O Donovan, Jamie Moylan, John Joe Queally, Cian O Riordan, Jake Moore.

AGM
Our Club AGM took place last Friday night in Abbeyside School hall with a sizable attendance ensuring a lively debate on a number of topics.
Jonathan O’Donovan produced an excellent and comprehensive Secretary’s Report which covered in great detail all elements of the clubs activities in 2019. Having been received very favourably by all those present and following a discussion on areas raised therein the report was approved. 
Chairman Michael Briggs gave a wide ranging address which again touched on everything that has been happening over the past 12 months. He thanked in particular all his fellow officers, committee members, players, team management, everyone working away in the background and all those who continue to contribute to the ongoing development works at our club grounds. On the playing side he congratulated our Junior C Hurling County Champions, whilst also reflecting on a few near misses and some disappointments in the other grades.

As Michael has stepped aside as Chairman it is only right at this time that we thank him and the Vice Chairman Michael Cosgrave for their sterling work over the past two years.

The last item on the agenda was the election of Officers and the committee for 2020. With Neil Moore standing unopposed for the position of Chairman he was ratified for the coming 12 months along with the other Club Officers and new committee. The incoming Chairman gave a brief address outlining plans for the year ahead and with that the meeting was called to a conclusion.

The new committee then convened for a brief meeting where, amongst other items, it was agreed that the appointment of team managers would be dealt with over the coming weeks. The intention being to have this finalised prior to Christmas.

The following are the officers and committee members for 2020
Chairman: Neil Moore
Assistant Chairman: Michael Ferncombe
Secretary: Jonathan O’Donovan
Treasurer: Pakie Hurney
Membership Officer: Kevin Tobin
PRO: Paidi Shields
Committee: Bernard Gorman, Eddie O Halloran, Michael O Donovan, Joe Cleary, Frank Sweeney, Jim O Mahony, Timmy Organ, Danny McGrath, Ian Kiely.

Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club, we would like to offer our deepest sympathies to the O'Connor family, Limerick and Abbeyside on the tragic death of Breffni O'Connor in Italy on Saturday morning last. The O’Connor family have been great servants of our club for many years and Breffni's cousins continue to play for our club today. Breffni's father, Liam regularly travels back to the Village to watch our club teams in championship action and has always been a great supporter of every and any fundraising initiative we have undertaken. Indeed, Liam was a chief organiser of the very successful and enjoyable sponsored cycle from Limerick to Abbeyside a few years ago. When our Féile teams travelled to Limerick in recent years or whenever our Senior teams travelled to Limerick for challenge games, Liam would ensure that all the arrangements were in place and the teams never wanted for anything once Liam undertook the arrangements. Once again we send our condolences to Liam and Kathleen and their family at this most difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sí.

County Junior 'C' Hurling Champions

Congratulations to our Junior 'C' hurlers and management team on their hard fought 1-14 to 2-8 victory over Naomh Pól in the County Final at Walsh Park this afternoon. The foundations for this win were laid in the first half which saw the lads leading by eight points at the break. They then had to withstand a late second half Naomh Pól rally before securing a thoroughly deserved win. After a series of tough defeats over the last two weekends, it's great to come away with some silverware to show for a long, hard year.

Club Bingo
Our club bingo continues in the CBS Hall this Sunday night where the jackpot is €450.

Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to extend our deepest sympathies the family and wide circle of friends of Laura Cliffe who tragically passed away last weekend.  As news of Laura’s passing spread throughout the Village on Saturday morning there was sense of shock and disbelief at the news, coupled with an outpouring of support for her family. Along with Suzette, Laura had turned their local business Cafe Bliss into a thriving success and it was a hub of activity in our community. A lover of many sports Laura would fly our club colours, Waterford or Ireland flags proudly from the top window in Café Bliss, with a New Zealand flag also making an occasional appearance! Laura was extremely popular with her customers, with many Saturday or Sunday morning breakfasts turning into informal club gatherings where the weekend’s matches or events would be discussed in depth. Laura supported all the teams in our club, both mens and ladies, taking great interest in and getting great pride from the performances of her nieces and nephews in the club jersey.
Cliffe’s Field was of course our home for many years before we moved to our current location and Laura's father Larry was a hurling missionary in our juvenile section for many years as he trained thousands of youngsters at our Saturday morning coaching sessions. To this day Larry and Laura's mother Margaret run our weekly bingo whilst her brothers Damien and Raymond played for the club for many years. Laura's sisters Sandra and Maria are some of our most loyal supporters with her nieces and nephews maintaining the proud family link to the club to the present day.
All who knew Laura will miss her warm and generous personality, as she was always great company in Cafe Bliss and other social settings. Whilst she will be missed by us all, it is nothing compared to the deep sense of loss her loved ones are going through at this time.
Once again we send our deepest sympathies to Laura's family but especially to Suzette, Larry and Margaret and to Sandra, Maria, Damien and Raymond and all her nieces and nephews.
