Championship 2020 Tickets
We play Lismore in the County Senior Hurling Championship Quarter Final
on Sunday evening next, 16th August at 6:15pm in Fraher Field. As with previous
matches, our ticket allocation is extremely limited and undoubtedly demand will
far outstrip supply. Any fully paid up adult member who would like to enter the
draw for a ticket must give their name to the secretary, Jonathan O'Donovan by
1:00pm on Thursday, 13th August. Only one ticket per member. All tickets will
be charged at full price and there are no concessions.
At time of writing we do not have fixture details for the Junior B
Western Semi Final. If similar restrictions are in place details will be posted
on our Club Zap. Likewise, if the Junior A hurlers qualify for their
semi-final.
Senior Hurling
Our senior hurlers played De La Salle on Saturday last in our final
group game. On a blistering evening both teams performed admirably to put on a
tough honest championship encounter. Although we were on the wrong side of a
3-15 to 1-15 score line there were plenty of positives to take from the
performance. Following our victory over Ballysaggart we finished second in the
group and we now play Lismore in the quarter final on Sunday next in Fraher
Field in what is sure to be another tough encounter. Best of luck to the lads.
Again, we will remind you that whilst tickets are limited, this game
will be streamed live. Details are available in the Waterford Co Board website.
Of course, nothing beats being there but this is an excellent initiative by all
involved affording all who want to see the game the opportunity to do so.
Junior Hurling
The Junior B hurlers took on Ballyduff in our own club grounds on Friday
last in their second group. This was a true championship test and the team
showed great fighting spirit throughout and just came up short in the end with
the final score being 1-19 to 2-15. We have however qualified for the Western semi-final
against Fourmilewater. Although there are no fixture details to hand at the
moment it is expected to take place next weekend. Once we receive confirmation
it will be posted on Club Zap and the club website.
The Junior A hurlers are in action this evening (Monday) where a win
over Kilrossanty will see them qualify for the Western semi-final.
Minor Hurling
The minors continued their fine form with a good 1-17 to 2-11 victory
over Clonea last Wednesday evening. We now progress to a County semi-final
versus De La Salle this coming Thursday.
Deise Draw 2020
Just a reminder once again that the revised Deise Draw will kick off on
August 26th. Over the coming weeks we will be making a big effort in
this regard as it is one of our primary fundraising streams. We’d appeal to all
our members and supporters to purchase a ticket from any committee member.
Jack The Joker
The relaunch of the ever-popular Jack The Joker took place in Minnies on
Monday night. Prize winners will be published in next week’s notes.
