Jack the Joker
There was great excitement in Minnie’s
Bar on Sunday evening last when the jackpot of €5,600 was won. The lucky winner
was Louise O Donnell who chose card 40, which when turned was the elusive
Joker. Also, on the night both Eddie O Halloran and Dermot O Shea won €25. Congratulations
to Louise, we hope she will enjoy her winnings, and massive thanks to all who
continue to sell or buy a ticket each week. It is the club’s primary income
stream and we are very grateful for your support. The show, of course goes on
this Sunday when the draw moves to O Connors with a jackpot of €2,000 up for
grabs.
Intercounty
Storm Dennis wreaked havoc on intercounty
fixtures last weekend with the Waterford Senior Hurling team’s game versus Limerick
one of those to fall victim to the rain and high winds. Hopefully there will be
no such problems this Sunday when Galway visit Walsh Park and we’d like to wish
club panellists Conor Prunty and Neil Montgomery all the best. Prior to that on
Saturday afternoon the footballers make the long trek west to Yeats’ County to
take on Sligo. All the best to Brian Looby, James Beresford and all involved. Finally,
congratulations to Colin Foley who was named joint captain of the county U-20
football team. Colin and his teammates are in action this evening, Wednesday 19th,
versus Clare and hopefully we will have good news to report next week.
Fitzgibbon
Cup
On
Wednesday evening last Neil Montgomery joined a select group of club players
who have captured one of the premier third level competitions. It was fantastic
to see Neil continue his great early season form and make such a huge
contribution to the UCC victory. All in the club pass on our congratulations on
this fantastic achievement.
Membership
With the playing season commencing
very shortly we ask all players to get their membership paid quickly. Also non
playing members can pay their membership in the coming weeks. Membership can be
paid to Kevin Tobin. Kevin will be in the field on Saturday morning between 10.30
and 11.30.
Club Bingo
Our club bingo continues in the
CBS Hall this Sunday night where the jackpot is €1200.
