Mark also presented the annual player of the year awards to the following people, and many congratulations to the following, Under 10 Rory Simpson, Under 11 Conor Haley, Under 12 Adam Aspel, Under 13 Izaak Richards, Under 14 Ruaidhri McGarrity and Under 16 Lee Clarke.
An enjoyable night was had by all, and thanks to Mark who gave up his spare time to come along present the awards, and stood in for plenty of photos, and giving the future stars of GAA plenty of tips and advice for the coming years ahead.
CLUB NURSERY:
The club’s Nursery Programme continues each and every Saturday morning from 10am to 11am in the GAA grounds for boys and girls aged between 5 and 6 years old. The nursery programme teaches children the basic movements and skills required to play Gaelic games including agility, balance, coordination, running, jumping, throwing, kicking, striking and catching. All equipment, hurleys and helmets will be supplied.
COUNTY DUTY:
Hard luck to Mark O' Brien who was part of the Waterford Senior hurling team that was narrowly defeated by Dublin in Parnell Park last Sunday afternoon, also to Iona Heffernan and Niamh Ahearne from the Waterford Senior Camogie team that was defeated by Tipperary in the National League in Gracedieu on Sunday afternoon last.
DÉISE DRAW:
The 2019 Déise Draw will start on Wednesday April 24th. It will be the same format as last year, with six monthly draws at €15 per month, with first prize been €12,500; all the way down to prize number twenty. This is the club’s main source of income, with 70% of the sale of the ticket been retained by the club. So we would encourage everyone to support the Déise Draw.
