Senior Championships
The draws for the respective Senior Championships took place on Friday evening last. In hurling we were drawn with Ballygunner and Ballyduff Upper, whist the football group consists of An Rinn and Stradbally. As with last year the hurling will be played off first with the start date dependent on the success of the Waterford Senior teams.
Of course, there is also the not insignificant matter of the 2020 Senior Football Final to be played. At time of writing this is scheduled to take place 2 weeks after the end of our intercounty season.
Membership
As we return, 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.
Intercounty
The intercounty season commenced last Sunday when the Senior hurlers made the trip to Pairc Ui Chaoimh to take on Cork. Unfortunately, it wasn’t our day with Cork coming out with a 7-point victory. However, in the condensed format this year there is an opportunity to get the 1st win when Westmeath are the opponents in Walsh Park on Sunday next at 13.30. Best of luck to Conor, Neil and Michael and the rest of the team.
The footballers also enter the fray next weekend when they take on Carlow in Fraher Field on Saturday at 19.00. Best of luck to all involved especially club players Brian Looby, James Beresford and Aaron Beresford.
Jack The Joker
The ever-popular Jack The Joker draw took place on Monday night last. Hollie, Sadie, Katie and Joey O Sullivan were drawn and picked number 4. When turned this was not the Joker, but they did win €50. Páidi Shields and Jonathan O Donovan won €25 each. The jackpot next week will be €3,600.
