Hi members,
Every week we publish our club notes in the Avondhu newspaper, the Imokilly GAA website and our own Watergrasshill GAA website.
We are now trialling using the Clubforce app to try to keep as many members as possible up to date on what’s going on across the club.
If there is any feedback on the notes, articles or items you would like to see, please reach out to pro.watergrasshill.cork@gaa.ie.
Please find below the club notes from Watergrasshill Hurling Club for week ending 7th June.
Weekly round-up
On field activities this week were limited, with our intermediates taking the headlines following their win over Blarney last Thursday evening. Great to see the lads registering their first win of the league campaign. That win takes us level on points with Blarney & Kildorrery and hopefully the lads will continue that form into the upcoming game against Ballyhea on June 14th.
Off the field, there was a great buzz around Kade’s County on Friday evening for our long overdue Glenville & Watergrasshill medal presentation. Due to restrictions over the past two years, there were a total of 9 victories marked with presentations ranging from U-14 East Cork Hurling winners in 2019 to Junior B football winners in 2021. There was also a presentation to our current members who have represented Cork at various grades in the past 12 to 24 months winning 5 All-Ireland medals along the way, with Daire O’Leary (Cork Senior & U-20), Seán Desmond (Cork U-20), Brendan Lehane, Mick O’Driscoll & Liam foley (Cork Minor) recognised for their achievements. Before making the presentation on behalf of Watergrasshill, Tommy Bowe spoke in complimenting these young men on the example they show for our younger players. Everyone associated with the club are very proud of their achievements & the example they set in terms of how hard-work, commitment, honesty and support for their team-mates are the cornerstones of their success and we wish the lads well in their future endeavors
Text Service Re-launch
This year we are re-launching our supporters text messaging service as another way to keep members up-to-date with upcoming fixtures.
If you would like a weekly supporter’s message with fixtures for Watergrasshill & Glenville hurling, football, camogie and ladies football matches please contact Paud O'Neill 0879890964 or Barry Joyce 0871847017.
There is a nominal fee of €5 per year for this service.
We would also appreciate if members could share this service with those who are not on social media as we have found in previous years that this service is very beneficial for them.
Lotto
There was no winner of the Lotto Jackpot this week. Numbers drawn were 2, 11, 22 & 30. Lucky dip winners are Ger O’Brien, Marie Kennedy, Kathleen O’Riordan & Jim O’Doherty. Congrats to you all. Next week's jackpot is €2,100 and draw will take place Monday 6th April. Tickets are on sale in some of the village businesses like The Hut Bar, The Fir Tree, Johnny's Shop and our new Lotto stand in Ross's Centra. Tickets can also be purchased on-line via our club website (www.watergrasshillgaa.ie). The Club would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members and supporters of the Watergrasshill GAA Club Lotto. The Club Lotto is a vital source of income for the running of all our teams within the Club and for future development of our facilities, so we ask you to please support it if you are in a position to do so. Remember, if you’re not in you can’t win.
