The Nire go down in Munster Final.
Two years ago the Nire pushed Austin Stacks all the way in the Munster Club Football final, this year they went all the way down to West Cork and beat the Cork champions, but alas they were well beaten last Sunday by a very determined Dr. Crokes outfit who were forewarned and forearmed. It was still a great achievement to get that far, if you think about it, the Kerry equivalent in the Hurling club championship – their senior hurling champions – only played in the Intermediate hurling grade, and Lismore dispatched them comfortably. Credit where it’s due, so well done, the Nire.
Get well soon.
Best wishes to popular player Eoin Roche for a speedy recovery following a lengthy operation in Dublin last week. Eoin’s ambition is to get back playing hurling again, but he has a long recuperation ahead of him. Get well soon, Eoin, from all in the club.
We would also like to wish a full recovery to Margaret Geary, Moorehill, who is in hospital at the moment also. Get well soon, Margaret.
Sympathies.
Shamrocks would like to sympathise with Catherine Baldwin and family, Coolbeggan, on the passing of her mother Madge McCarthy, which occured last week. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Shamrocks Reunion 2016.
Shamrocks G.A.A. Club are having a Reunion of all players and everyone associated with the club on December 30th, 2016. Though it is essentially a club reunion, organiser Will Moloney stressed that everyone from the three parishes and beyond are welcome. Mass will be celebrated in Knockanore by our own Fr. Shane O’ Neill at 7.30pm, and this will be followed by light refreshments and a chat in the K.G.K. Hall afterwards. This will not be a formal event, no speeches are anticipated, just an opportunity for people who don’t meet too often these days to renew acquaintances, and just catch up.
