Championship 2020 Tickets
Our senior hurlers play De La Salle on Saturday night next, 8th August
in Walsh Park in the second round of the County Senior Hurling Championship. As

up adult member is eligible to enter the draw for a ticket. This will take
place should demand exceed supply. If any member is interested in entering the
draw, please submit your name to secretary, Jonathan O'Donovan by 1:00pm on
Thursday, 6th August. Tickets cost €10 and there are no concessions.
Also, our junior hurlers play the second round of the Western
championship on Sunday, 9th August in Bushy Park. Anyone wishing to apply for a
ticket for this game should contact club chairman, Neil Moore by 1:00pm on
Thursday, 6th August. Tickets cost €8 and again there are no concessions.
Senior Hurling
We finally had our 1st senior championship outing last
Saturday when Ballysaggart provided the opposition in Fraher Field. A solid,
workmanlike and overall excellent team performance saw us run out winners on a
score line of 2-23 to 1-06. This Saturday we play De La Salle in what is sure
to be a stiffer test. Throw in is at 6.30pm in Walsh Park.
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 A hurlers took on Brickey Rangers in Dungarvan club grounds
on the Bank Holiday Monday. Unfortunately, we came out on the wrong side of a 1-15
to 0-12 score line.
We are back in action next Sunday at 12.00 noon against Kilrossanty in
Bushy Park.
The Junior B hurlers are back in action on Friday in our own field at 7.00pm
when Ballyduff will provide the opposition. A win will see us top the group so
hopefully the lads can put in a big performance.
Minor Hurling
A fine first half performance set the minor hurlers up for an excellent 2-19
to 2-09 victory over St. Pats/Naomh Brid at the club grounds last Saturday. This
championship continues on Wednesday 5th August when we travel to
Clonea for a 7.30pm throw in.
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
Due to the ongoing Covid restrictions we have been forced to push back
the relaunch of the ever-popular Jack The Joker. This will now return on the
weekend ending 09th August. We will be picking up where we left off
on with a Jackpot of €2,800.
