Intercounty
The Waterford Senior hurlers recorded a god win over Tipperary on Sunday last. There is a 2 week break now until the beginning of the Munster Championship and we wish all involved the best in their preparations.  The footballers put in a good performance against Antrim on Sunday also, but unfortunately came out on the wrong side of the result. Again, there is a 2-week break before Clare again provide the opposition in the 1st round of the Munster championship. Hopefully, preparations go well in the interim.
 
Jack The Joker
The ever-popular Jack The Joker draw took place on Monday night last. Darrel Ryan was drawn and picked number 34. When turned this was not the Joker, but he did win €50. Brian Looby and Yvonne Sheehan won €25 each. The jackpot next week will be €4,100.
