Club Notes: 4th July 2017

JFC Shamrocks 0-10, Sliabh gCua 2-13.
Shamrocks lost their first match in this year’s Junior Football championship last Sunday in Cappoquin when they lost by 9 points to the men from Toouraneena. Though we were without a few players, we still had a reasonably strong side, but when Sliabh gCua raced into an early lead with a goal and a few points, we were always chasing the game. Though we kept trying to the end we were never going to catch them. There is only one more game in the group stages against Tallow still left to play.

Michael (Mikey) McGrath RIP.
Shamrocks would like to sympathise with the family and friends of Mikey McGrath, Summerfield, Youghal, and formerly of Camphire who passed away last weekend. Mikey played with the Shamrocks in the early years of the club’s existence. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

Congratulations.
The club would like to congratulate Paddy Smith on the occasion of his wedding to the lovely Sarah Jane last Saturday. May you have many years of wedded bliss to come Paddy.

Deise draw the Cats.
After their demolition job on Offaly, Waterford drew Kilkenny in the qualifiers which goes ahead this Saturday evening in Thurles. There’s little doubt that the Cats are not the force they were, but that doesn’t take away Waterford’s abysmal record against them. Can we finally get a victory over the Cats? Tune in this Saturday….
