DUNGARVAN GAA CLUB NOTES GROUNDSMEN RETIRE Following six years of dedicated service, the club regrets the departure of both Henry Walsh and Tony Wall from our Grounds staff at Clogherane due to retirement. Both men have given service beyond the call of duty to our club and they have kept the club grounds in immaculate condition during their time with us. On this Thursday evening in the club house at 7.30pm, we will be making presentations to both men in appreciation of their service and we would encourage our members to come along and to be part of this. Later in the evening we will be heading to Paddy Foleys where the very popular ‘Spotlight’ Band will be playing from 9.30pm until 11.30 pm. All are welcome to attend and to sing a song or two if desired and to be part of this occasion of appreciation to both our groundsmen at the club. FRESHERS FINAL Congrats to club player Patrick Curran who played a leading role in UCC ‘s win in the final of the Freshers Hurling League Final in Mallow last Monday night.UCC beat University of Limerick by 4-14 to 4-10 in a very entertaining game and Patrick finished the hour with a tally of 1-9.His clubmate Kevin Daly played in the earlier rounds but he is on the injured list at present and we wish him well with his cruciate ligament operation next week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Everybody in the club extends best wishes to both Maura Curran, Western Bay and Gobnait Curran, Kilrush, who celebrate milestone birthdays this week. Maura continues to do Trojan work with our club lotto while Gobnait has been a loyal supporter of our development fund from its very beginning. SYMPATHY The club extends its sincere sympathy to the Coffey Family, Springmount on the recent death of their mother Joan, whose grandson Robbie currently plays with our underage section. Joan’s daughter Mairead and son in law John Horgan, our former Juvenile Club Chairman and the McGrath Family were very much involved with us in days gone by. May she rest in peace. JUVENILE CHAIRPERSON Congrats to Megan Daly who has taken on the role as our Juvenile Chairperson for 2015. Daughter of our joint club secretary, Joanne, Megan didn’t lick her commitment off the stones and she is also granddaughter of the late Declan O’ Sullivan, Mary St, who gave years of commitment to the GAA locally in former years. LOTTO Next week’s lotto will be €6000 even as there was no winner last Monday night. The numbers drawn under the watchful eye of Johnny Lynch at the Ard Scoil Bingo night were 14, 18, 26 and 28. Sean Murphy, Springfield, one of our staunch supporters and fundraisers was the winner of the weekly £100. If everybody in the club at all levels supported the lotto each week, it would go most of the way in funding our club every year. We ask you the question, are you joined the weekly lotto for just €2 ? as we are all definitely getting more out of the club than we put into it. Arrangements can easily be made to collect your weekly contribution, just contact any club officer while our continued thanks to our loyal band of sellers, who have weekly customers on their books. DEISE DRAW Congrats to Una Coakley of the Shamrock Restaurant, O’ Connell St, who won £300 in the November Deise Draw and to Maura Curran who was the promoter. Our thanks to everybody who supported us again this month and to our draw co-ordinator Catherine Lyons or all her work again this month. CHRISTMAS RAFFLE Our Annual raffle to raise club funds is now up and running and we request your support in both buying and selling a book of tickets which cost just €5 each.
