Intercounty
It was a super weekend on the intercounty front for Waterford with both Senior teams winning. The footballers had a great win over Wexford on Saturday and the hurlers following up with victory over All Ireland champions Limerick on Sunday. Congratulations to all involved and especially our own players, Brian, Aaron, James and John in the football and Conor, Neil and Michael in the hurling.
 
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the O Connell family, Ballinacourty on the death of Ollie. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

The ever-popular Jack The Joker draw took place on Monday night last. Tiernan Murray was drawn and picked number 3. When turned this was not the Joker, but he did win €50. Fiona Flynn and Richie Ryan won €25 each. The jackpot next week will be €3,800.
