Shamrocks G.A.A. Club Notes (kindly sponsored by Allen Engineering & Agri Sales Ltd.)
Club Lotto.
Lotto draw 1-4-2017, the numbers drawn were 3-5-18-23, and there was no winner. €20 winners were Karen Sheehan, F. & J. Corkery, Liam Fraser, Kat Hannon, Linda Aherne. Last Saturday’s draw, numbers were 2-5-8-15, and there was no winner. €20 winners were Bernie Murray, Mary Tobin, Peggy Carrig, Hannie Sexton, and Ann O’ Keeffe. Next week’s jackpot will be €3,300.
Intermediate Hurling Championship.
With the long evenings well back now, the first round of the Intermediate Championship is only around the corner. Sunday week is our first match against newly -relegated from senior ranks Cappoquin. This will be a formidable test for our young team as the Cornerstone club acquitted themselves pretty well in their two seasons at Senior level. Training has been going well, and with a new manager and selectors at the helm, everyone will be anxious to get off to a good start. There are only four teams in our group, Stradbally, Cappoquin, Ballysaggart and ourselves, so there’s only three group matches, no room for error. Sunday week, 23rd April at 1.30pm, in Lismore, come along and give them some support.
Junior Hurling Championship.
The Junior Hurling Championship also gets underway next weekend when we play Modeligo in Ballyduff next Friday week 21st April at 7pm. This championship consists of nine teams, and all teams play each other. Eight games in the championship?? I can’t see clubs fulfilling all their fixtures, there’s just too many games. Best of luck lads.
Condolences.
Shamrocks C.L.G. would like to sympathise with former Treasurer and club stalwart Johnny Baldwin on the death of his sister Anne Smiddy, Mogeely, last Thursday. R.I.P. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.
Congratulations!
The club would like to congratulate former player Kieran Murphy and Maura on the birth of a baby boy recently. Well done to you both!
Dubs lose to Kingdom.
All runs have to come to an end, and Dublin were finally beaten last Sunday after 35 games by Kerry in the National League Final. I would think they are still favourites for the Sam Maguire, but their unbeatable aura might just be slipping…
