Membership

With the new season rapidly approaching, we would like to emphasis the importance of getting your membership paid as soon as possible. If you have not already done so, please contact our membership officer Kevin Tobin on 087 9954448 to arrange payment. From a playing perspective it is compulsory that you are a member as it ensures you are included in the insurance scheme. Rates for this year are Adult €150 / Student €75, Married Couple (non-playing) €70, Single (non-playing) €50 and OAP €40. Of course, members of our 300 Club are fully covered.
 

U15 Football Championship

We had mixed fortunes for our under 15 footballers on Sunday morning when we lined out two teams in the championship. Our division 1 side recorded a convincing 7-04 to 1-01 victory down in Tramore to continue their great start to the championship.
Our division 4 team hosted Portlaw/Ballyduff Lower in the Burgery and despite a valiant effort, they lost out to our much bigger and physically stronger visitors.
 

Academy Update

Our pitches were closed on Saturday morning due to the heavy rain in the previous days so our academy had to be postponed. This didn't stop our under 10's though as they hit the beach in Ballinclamper to make sure that they didn't miss out on any valuable practice time. This was great idea from the coaches and the boys had great craic too!
We're back in action at our club grounds in the Burgery next Saturday morning for boys aged between 5 & 10. New members are always welcome and if you have any questions you can contact us through our Facebook page or by emailing abbeycourtyjuvenilesec@gmail.com.
 

Intercounty

Aaron Beresford, John Elstead and Brian Looby were all in action for the Waterford Senior Footballers last Sunday in Wexford where unfortunately they were beaten in a close game. This Sunday they welcome Sligo to Fraher Field.
The hurlers meanwhile are in action versus Kilkenny this coming Sunday also.
