U20 Football

The U20 football was due to get underway last weekend, however our opponents St Oliver’s informed the County Board that they would be unable to field. We are awaiting confirmation of our next fixture and will post on social media once available.

Sympathy

It was with a deep sense of shock we learnt of the sudden passing of former player Michael O Connor on Sunday. On behalf of all in the club we would like to extend our sympathies to his family and wide circle of friends. The O Connor family have of course a long association with our club, with Michael’s father Danny playing many years and indeed was a member of the 1st Abbeyside team to win an adult title when we defeated Dunhill in the 1950 Junior Hurling Final. Michael and his brothers Liam and Austin carried on that tradition for many years and Michael himself was part of some of our greatest moments as a member of the Senior Football panel in 1978 and 1979, whilst also winning an U21 football title in 1971.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

Munster Club

Congratulations to Ballygunner on their victory over Kilmallock on Sunday in the Munster Club Senior Hurling Final. It’s great to see a Waterford team flying the flag successfully on the national stage and we wish them all the best in the upcoming All Ireland series.
