The 2021 Angela Burns Memorial will go virtual this year, and it will take place over the upcoming June Bank holiday weekend from Friday 4th to June 7th.
With COVID-19 putting a spanner in the works, many similar events this year have gone virtual, so keeping this tradition tipping away, we are asking all people from inside and outside of the club to get involved and participate in a run, walk, jog, cycle of any route and distance of their choice.
This year, proceeds will go to the local Ferrybank St. Vincent de Paul, who have been badly hit for funds over the last 12 months and we are delighted to contribute to such a worthy cause. People can donate whatever they like, by either registering online at totaltiming.ie, where those who do register will be in with the chance to win some spot prizes, or, by dropping it into the Ferrybank Parish Office c/o Angela S.V.P.
Therefore, we are appealing to the Ferrybank diaspora around the country, and indeed worldwide, to take part by registering for the occasion, and send in their photos to ferrybankgaa@gmail.com. Also, people here taking part can send in their pictures as well over the dates in question. Keep an eye on www.facebook.com/AngelaBurnsMemorial10k for further information.
EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP:
The draws for the 2021 Intermediate and Junior Hurling and Football championships will take place on Thursday night. More than likely, the same format for each competition from last year will apply to this year’s championship. Please keep an eye on social media for the outcome of the respective draw.
COUNTY DUTY:
Well done to Mark O' Brien and the Waterford Senior hurling team on the win over Westmeath last Sunday afternoon in Walsh Park. While it’s hard luck to Niamh Ahearne and Valerie O' Brien who were part of the Waterford Junior Camogie team that were defeated by Carlow last Saturday afternoon in Kill.
DÉISE DRAW:
The 2021 Déise Draw will commence on Wednesday July 14th, with six draws taking place, every four weeks right up to December 1st.
Similar to the last few years, each draw will cost €15, with 20 cash prizes up for grabs, and the top price a nice €10k. Again, this is the club’s main source of income for the year, and we would appeal to everyone to support the Déise Draw, with 70% of ticket sales been retained by the club, which will go towards some exciting projects the club is undertaking throughout the year.
CLOTHING COLLECTION:
The clothing collection is continuing. If you have any of the following items, drop them down to the GAA grounds;
- Clothes
- Paired Shoes
- Belts
Please do NOT send down any DUVETS OR PILLOWS.
Bags can be left at the entrance to the club's grounds on a week night, or between 10 am and 11 am on Saturday mornings.
CAMOGIE RAFFLE:
The Camogie club are running a fundraising competition for a pair of Apple Air Pods. Closing date is Sunday May 23rd, where the winner will be announced. Entry fee is €5, and all proceeds raised will go towards the development of the Camogie club. To enter, please go to the club’s Facebook page and click on the link.
