Junior Hurling

On Saturday evening last a very strong second half display by our Junior hurlers helped them to a very good victory over Brickey Rangers in Fraher Field to maintain their 100% record in the Western Championship. Victory did come at a cost and we would like to wish Seanu Kiely a speedy recovery from the shoulder injury he sustained early in the game.

Presentation

This Sunday night in Kennedys we will be making a presentation to Tom Whelan and Eddie Cashin to mark their retirement from the FAS scheme in the club grounds where both men gave great dedication to help our club grounds look as good as they presently do. We would like to see as many club members as possible in Kennedys at 9:30 to mark the occasion.

Inter County Activity

We would like to wish the Waterford minor hurlers the very best of luck ahead of their Munster Final against Limerick on Sunday where Conor Prunty is on the team and Stephen Cliffe and Sean Daly are on the panel whilst Donnacha Enright is a selector and Pat Moore is a member of the backroom.

Club Bingo

First Aid

If there are any members interested in giving a hand with first aid to any of our adult teams at matches we would ask that you inform any club officer of your interest as we are hoping to arrange a First Aid course for any members who are interested.

Booking of Pitches

All team managers are reminded to please ensure that they have booked the pitch for training or matches with Michael O’Donovan. We would also ask team managers to please try and do as much heavy training in the areas behind the goals.
