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 3rd 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.
