Club Notes - 30th September

Covid Update

On Thursday last a member of our senior football team informed the club that he was awaiting a Covid test as he was classified as a close contact of a person who had tested positive. The club committee convened that evening and made the decision to suspend all club activity for a 48-hour period. As a club we have a duty of care to protect the wellbeing of all our players and members and this decision was taken wholly on that basis. Thankfully the test returned negative and activity has returned to normal. We’re of course delighted that this was the outcome, but it does serve as a potent reminder of the ongoing risks and we’d appeal to everyone to remain vigilant.

 

Senior Football

Given the circumstances outlined above the County Semi Final versus The Nire scheduled for last Saturday was postponed. The game has been re-fixed for next Saturday in Fraher Field with a throw in time of 7.00pm. This will undoubtedly be a very stern test and we wish Lar and all the team the very best of luck.

As per current Government guidelines the club will be restricted to 100 supporters on the night. The game will however be streamed live. Please see the Waterford County Board website for details.

 

Deise Draw 2020

The 3^rd draw will take place in the coming weeks. As this is one of our primary fundraising streams, we’d appeal to all our members and supporters to purchase a ticket from any committee member or promoter if you haven’t already done so.

 

Jack The Joker

The ever-popular Jack The Joker draw took place in Minnies on Monday night last. Joe Cleary was drawn and picked number 25. This however wasn’t the Joker but he did win €50. Consequently, the jackpot rolls on to next week and will be €3,500. John Clancy and Paddy King also won €25.

Our Senior team had a good win over An Rinn last Sunday and now progress to a semifinal match off against The Nire. This game is throwing in at 7.00pm next Saturday in Fraher Field.

Championship 2020

The highlight of the week was the performance of our Senior footballers who put in a fine performance last Sunday afternoon in defeating Clashmore. As is the nature of this year’s championship there is no time to rest on our laurels as we move forward to the Quarter final next weekend. Here Ring will provide the opposition with throw in Fraher Field Sunday afternoon at 3.00pm. Best of luck to Lar and his team.

Unfortunately, the news was not so good for the Intermediate and Junior teams who both exited their respective championships. Thanks to all involved for their efforts in what were difficult circumstances.

Jack The Joker

Hard Luck

The Junior camogie were out of luck in their County Final versus The Brickies last Saturday. Whilst obviously disappointed all involved can take tremendous heart from their efforts this year.

Congratulations

On behalf of all in the club we’d like to pass on our congratulations to Sean O Hare and Deirdre Coleman on their marriage last weekend. Sean has worn the jersey with distinction for many years and of course was captain of the senior team that won the championship in 2011. We wish them both many years of happiness.

Championship

The 2020 football championships kicked off last weekend with all 3 of our adult teams in action. First into the fray were the Senior team who put in a solid hour and saw off a determined Ardmore challenge on a score line of 3-17 to 1-07. Bigger tests lie ahead and on Sunday next Clashmore provide the opposition in what should be a proper championship tussle. On Sunday the Intermediate and Junior A teams were in action and despite putting in commendable performances both had to give best to Modeligo and Kilgobnet respectively. As is the nature of this year’s championship structure there is no time for retrospection, and both are straight back into the fray. The Juniors play Tallow on Thursday whilst the Intermediates have a do or die tussle against our old friends from across the bridge on Saturday. We wish all involved the very best of luck.   

Deise Draw 2020

Best of Luck

Last Saturday the Junior camogie team had a tremendous victory in over Portlaw in the Co Semi Final. On behalf of everyone in the club we’d like to wish the girls all the best in the Co Final against The Brickies next Saturday.
