Welcome to this week’s club notes
WEEKLY LOTTO: Our weekly club lotto has commenced for 2015. The winning numbers in last week’s draw (19th) were 19,22,24 and 26. There was no outright winner to this week’s jackpot climbs to €6,200, a sum which would surely impact on the post Christmas debt.

CLUB PLAN: Last Monday will have seen the first steps being taken in the formulation and implementation of the club's 5-year plan, the necessity for a leithéid having been mooted in the Rúnaí's annual report.
In his cúntas, club secretary Daniel English, while emphatically acknowledging that the members of the coiste were passionate about Éire Óg and its well-being and were giving of their best to ensure its welfare, opined that as things stood the club structures were not adequate to cope with the demands being placed on them. He reported that attendances at meetings had been, in general, less than satisfactory and said that with most members double jobbing within the club, it was quite understandable. This, he said, militated against effective decision-making and where decisions were made led to inadequacies in their implementation.
The primary function of the club is in the fielding of teams and in this area the coiste has grounds for justifiable pride, Daniel said – Éire Óg fielded 5 adult teams in 2014, 3 in football and 2 in hurling. He hoped that this could be sustained in the years ahead.
COMHBHRÓN We in Éire Óg were shocked last weekend to hear of the sudden death of Tom Walsh of Bray Emmets. Tom's omnipresence at GAA events over the last half century clothed him in our eyes with a false image of indestructibility. Unfortunately an bás, ní féidir é a shéanadh.
Tom suffered the stings and arrows of the dedicated follower of Waterford hurling and to his misfortune never saw them make the breakthrough. However he did have one of his wishes fulfilled when Bray Emmets won the County Hurling Championship in 2014.
The notes remembers Tom, almost single handed, running the Bray Emmets juveniles in the 70s. Car ownership was low and Tom was forced on many occasions to make multiple trips to deliver his teams to venues.
The world in which Tom was nurtured is gone so it can be safely said nach mbeidh a leithéid arís ann. His loss will be felt by all who knew him. We in Éire Óg express our sincerest sympathies to Tom's family and relatives and to the Bray Emmets club.
Go raibh leaba aige i measc na naomh
