Club Notes: 1st May 2017
Shamrocks G.A.A. Club Notes ( Kindly sponsored by Allen Engineering & Agri Sales Ltd).
Club Lotto.
Last week’s numbers drawn were 10-14-21-28, and there was no winner. €20 winners were Mary O’ Donovan, Rusty, Ned Leahy, Ann Crawford, and Frankie Geary. Next week’s jackpot will be €3,750.
Junior Football Championship.
The Junior A Football championship gets under way in earnest this weekend for the Shamrocks when we take on Lismore in Cappoquin at 2pm. This is a championship we should be more than capable of winning, and we have been close in recent years. We lost the Western Final by a single point last year to an Emmets team that went on to win the County, a game we should never have lost. Lismore don’t always show a great interest in football, but I have no doubt if they decide to give it a go they will be formidable opponents. There are 6 teams in this championship, and as before, you can lose all 5 games and still win a county from the knockout stages. Come along and give the lads some support on Sunday, Cappoquin at 2pm.
KGK Community Games.
Chairperson of the local Community Games committee Carmel O’ Keeffe – Power tells me that our local Community Games heats will take place tomorrow night (Thursday) starting at 6pm in the G.A.A. pitch in Knockanore. U/8, U/10, U/12, U/14 races with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd medals, as well as races for pre-schoolers and U/6’s plus some fun sports and novelty prizes. The forecast is reasonably good, so come along for a great night’s running.
Get well soon.
Best wishes to P.P. Fr. Pat Condon who is recovering from illness at the moment. Get well soon, from all at the club.
Deise Draw.
The first Deise Draw takes place this night week 10th May. All tickets should be back with Liam Ahearne, Ann O’ Keeffe, or Eamonn Lonergan by this weekend.
Wedding Bells.
Congratulations to John Keane, Ballymoat, who tied the knot with the lovely Noelle last Friday. Wishing you both all the best in your married life together.
Walk for Pieta House.
The Blackwater Ladies Club, in association with the KGK Community Council, are holding a walk next Saturday morning May 6th in aid of Pieta House. The walk leaves the KGK Hall at 5am in the morning, and is anticipated to be back around 6. The Hall will be open from 4.15 for registration. No fee is required, but a donation bucket will be placed in the Hall. This is a very worthy cause, so if you can please come along and support it.
