Club Notes: 17th July 2017
Club Lotto.
Last week’s winning numbers were 5-13-17-21, and there was no winner. €20 winners were Kathleen O’ Flynn, William Casey, Liam Power, Aisling Cusack and Ann Flanagan. Next week’s jackpot will be €5,400.
Junior Hurling Championship.
By the time these notes are published our Junior hurlers will have played Clashmore/Kinsalebeg in Knockanore on Tuesday night. They are going very well with four wins out of four, so we wish them good luck in this match.
IHL, Shamrocks 1-10, Ardmore 4-17.
Shamrocks went down heavily to Ardmore in Ardmore last Tuesday evening in the Intermediate League. We have a lot of players missing at the moment either on holidays or with injuries, so we are struggling to put out strong teams. If Waterford can win this Sunday, it means the Intermediate Championship will be delayed for at least another three weeks.
Well done Colm.
Waterford fell at the first hurdle when they lost their U-21 Hurling crown to Cork in Walsh Park last Thursday night. To lose to a last minute penalty was a tough result to take, as I thought the Deise were just about the better team. One man who didn’t disappoint was Shamrock’s Colm Roche who had an excellent game scoring 5 points from midfield, showing no ill effects from the injury that had kept him out of hurling for the last couple of months. Well done also to John Paul Lucey who came on as a sub. J.P. has another year at this level, but it’s Colm’s last year.
Congratulations Derek.
Congratulations to former player Derek Kelly who married the lovely Michelle last Friday. May you have a long and happy life together.
Deise Draw.
We had two winners in last week’s Deise Draw with John and Jane Murphy, Headborough winning €500, and Mary Tobin winning €100. Well done to you both.
John Leahy RIP.
Shamrocks would like to sympathise with the family and friends of John Leahy, Knockanore, who passed away last week. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.
Deise v. Wexford.
Pairc Ui Chaoimh is the place to be this weekend with two Hurling Qualifiers on Saturday and Sunday. Wexford are our opponents on Sunday, and it promises to be a tough encounter. Wexford have been revived under Davy Fitzgerald, but Waterford must have a lot of confidence after finally beating the Cats. Wexford have beaten us in the championship before, so they will relish this tie. However, I think the Deise have a bit more experience at this level, and I’m cautiously predicting a win….. ‘Hon the Deise!
Knockanore Set Dancers.
We wish the very best of luck to Knockanore Set Dancers who are competing in the Fleadh Cheoil Munster Final this weekend in The Everyman Theatre in Cork.

On Sunday afternoon our U12 girls will take to the stage, very best of luck to Roisín Hunt, Katelynn O’Neill, Laura Kenneally, Lily Roche, Eimear Lenehan, Ava Moloney, Bronagh Motherway and Deirdre Roche.
