Welcome to this week’s club news
SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP: Renault Senior Football Championship, Round 3.Éire Óg v Coolkenno Saturday August 20th in Aughrim at 6.45 p.m.The history of the games between these two clubs suggests that Coolkenno will present a formidable challenge. Your support would give great encouragement to the players. Bí ann gan teip.
CLUB SOCIAL NIGHT: There will be a club social evening on the 19th September, the eve of the All-Ireland Football final. This will include a marquee, bar and band down at the clubhouse. Tickets are a mere €10 and will be available shortly, so make a date in your diary!
LOTTO: The winning numbers for Monday 15th draw were 1, 5, 9 and 18. The main jackpot survived but there were 1 Match 3 winners and each received €200. The jackpot for Monday 15th was €10,400.
HURLING: At a recent training night for our footballers and camogie players one got into conversation with a Spanish colleague of Jack Commons. It turned out that he was a closeted hurling admirer and he had gone to a championship game or two i bPáirc an Chrócaigh. He, a man with a keen interest in the so-called beautiful game, described the sport of hurling as amazing. Hyperbole! Not at all. How could the recent semi-finals between the Déise and Kilkenny be described as other than “amazing”?
All this is by way of putting our recent game against Avondale in the semi-final of the Junior Hurling Championship in Ashford in context. Those who would, because of the match’s lowly status, have dismissed it with a cynical shrug of the shoulders would have been greatly surprised how attention-grabbing and entertaining a contest it was. The game produced 36 scores (2-19 to 1-14) over the hour and the scoring was tit-for-tat until late in the 2nd half so spectators spent much of the last 30 minutes in anxious glance between watch and electronic scoreboard.
ADULT CAMOGIE: Our adult camogie team really put it up to Annacurra Camogie Club in their championship match last week, going down narrowly on a scoreline of 3-06 : 2-03. The team really are making remarkable progress.
COMHGÁIRDEACHAS to dual player Stephen Kelly on his recent engagement to Katie Graham. Go raibh saol fada taitneamhach acu le chéile.
BEST WISHES to Mark Mitchell who is celebrating a significant birthday. Mark, an enthusiastic Éire Óg supporter, is husband of Rosemary who is a long serving Lotto scrutineer and former manager of the ladies’ football team. Their daughter, Laura, was a prominent member of the ladies’ team.
