Jimmy Lenihan RIP
There
was a profound sense of shock around the parish last Sunday morning as word of
the passing of our former Chairman Jimmy Lenihan began to spread. During the 80’s following the move to our new
home in The Burgery there were many fundraising initiatives, many of which
Jimmy was to the forefront of. Those of
a certain vintage will remember his ultimately unsuccessful campaign to be
Mayor of Abbeyside!! Whilst he stepped
away from active participation in the club, he remained a committed supporter
and took delight in any wins and took part in the postmortems following any
defeats.
Of
course, he was always a very popular figure around the village. An absolute gentleman to his core anytime
you’d have the pleasure of bumping into him you were guaranteed a chat and a
bit of craic. He’ll be sorely missed by
his many friends and of course no more so than by his family.
All
in the club offer our sincerest condolences to his wife Eileen and children
Nicola and James and hope and pray Jimmy is again in the happy embrace of his
daughter Michelle.

Medal
Presentation
On Tuesday evening, our U13 girls had their medal
presentation in Bridgie Terries after a very successful year and winning out
the U13 championship. A huge
congratulations to all of you for all of your hard work throughout the year and
also to the management, without you it would not have been possible. We would also like to thank all of the parents
who travelled to training and matches with the girls and were there supporting
them all along the way.
A big thank you to our own club girls, Megan and
Dearbhla for taking the time to present these medals to the girls. Both Megan and Dearbhla were members of the
Waterford senior camogie team in 2023 and are great role models in our club,
especially to our younger girls. A
special mention to Bridgie Terries for the use of their facilities on the night
and for providing some lovely food, it was greatly appreciated. We look forward to seeing what 2024 has in
store for this incredible team, well done girls!
