Club Notes - 28th October
Covid Update
With the country returning to Level 5 restrictions club activity has
been suspended for the duration. Given the timescales involved it is unlikely
we will see a return to action in this calendar year. As such we’d like to take
this opportunity to thanks all players, mentors, supporters and officials for
all their efforts during the season. Like every year there were highs and lows
and we must take the positives, in what was a very trying period and move onto
2021 with confidence. Hopefully we will be out the other side at that stage,
and we can all get back to doing what we love, playing, coaching and supporting
our great games. Until then please keep safe.
Championship 2020
The county board took the decision during the week to suspend all
further club activity until the new year. Consequently, our Senior Football
final is now provisionally fixed for the weekend of 20th / 21st
of February.
Unfortunately, the U-20 hurling championship has been cancelled.
Intercounty
Both Waterford Senior teams are in championship action this coming
Saturday and the club is well represented in both codes. First up are the
hurlers who take on Cork at 3.30 in Thurles for a place in the Munster final.
Conor Prunty and Neil Montgomery are members of the panel. Then at 7.00 the
footballers take to the Fraher Field in a quarter final clash with Limerick.
Here we have Aaron Beresford, Brian Looby and James Beresford involved. Under
normal circumstances there would of course be a large club contingent in
attendance at both games. This time we will have to make do with the television,
but our support will be no less passionate. We wish the lads, and all involved
the very best if luck.
Deise Draw 2020
The 3rd draw took place last week and unfortunately there were no club
winners. The next installment is in 2 weeks time. 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 on Monday night last. Martina
Cosgrave was drawn and picked number 24. This however wasn’t the Joker but she
did win €50. David Hickey and Jimmy Lenihan also won €25.
Sympathy
On behalf of everyone in the club we would like to extend our deepest
sympathies to the Mulvihill family on the death of Maureen Mulvihill, McCarthy
Ville. Her sons of course wore the club jersey with distinction for many years
and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.
