Intermediate Hurling Championship
The first round of this year’s hurling championship for Shamrocks takes place this Sunday 23rd in Lismore versus Cappoquin. As opening rounds go this is a tough one, with the cornerstone club just down from Senior ranks. With only three matches in this year’s group stages, it’s going to be very tight. Training and preparation has gone well, so all we can hope for now is a clean bill of health, and for the players to play to their potential. Throw -in is at 1.30pm, and we wish them good luck.

Junior Hurling.
Our junior hurlers also get their championship under way this Friday night in Ballyduff against Modeligo, throw in at 7pm. Come along and give them some support.

Tom Doocey R.I.P.
Shamrocks C.L.G would like to sympathise with the family and friends of Tom Doocey, Deerpark, Lismore, who passed away last weekend. Tom was President and former player of neighbouring club Tourin, and we we offer our sympathies to all at the club as well. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

‘Anyone Could Rob A Bank’
No, not a statement of intent, but the title of a hilarious 3 Act comedy taking place this Saturday night in the KGK Hall starring Transition year students from the area. Produced and directed by Will Motherway and Liam Roche, this play is a collaboration between the newly formed K.G.K. Youth Drama Group, and Brideview Drama. They will also be performing on the following Friday and Saturday nights, and I believe all proceeds will be going to local charities. The play starts at 8.15, and we wish them well.
