O'Donovan Rossa GAA Notes
September 25, 2008
The O'Donovan Rossa junior hurlers South West junior A hurling final
against Diarmuid O Mathuna, has been scheduled for this Saturday,
September 27, in Rossmore, at 5pm.
This is the first time since 1956 the Skibbereen hurlers have reached
the South West junior A hurling final when they were defeated by
Courcey Rovers. It is 75 years since the Flyer Nyhan Cup resided in
Dear Old Skibbereen when the cup was annexed by the famous three in a
row team.
Rossas have shown great resolve, steely determination combined with
no little skill to see off the challenges of Kilbree, St. James and
Dohenys to reach the final. Much credit is due to trainers Kieran
Walsh, John O'Driscoll and Mick O'Driscoll for their commitment and
expertise in guiding this dedicated and inspirational squad to an
historic final appearance. All support would be greatly appreciated
for Saturday's mammoth clash.
Extra-time will be played in the event that the teams are deadlocked
at the end of normal time. The winners of Saturday's tie are
scheduled to play Tullylease in the junior hurling county quarter-
final on the weekend of October 4/5.
The minor footballers resume their championship campaign when they
meet Clonakilty in a much anticipated semi-final encounter at
Rosscarbery, this Sunday, September 28, at 3.30pm. The minor
footballers have defeated Castlehaven and Carbery Rangers thus far
this season. The minors face a tough task as they prepare to meet a
very strong Clonakilty team who comfortably defeated Newcestown in
their quarter-final clash last week. The winners of this clash will
proceed to a final against the victors of the Dohenys v Bantry clash.
The junior 2 footballers championship clash against Newcestown has
been provisionally scheduled for the second weekend of October. A
meeting for all committee members will be held in the pavilion on
Thursday, September 25, at 8.30pm.
There was no winner of the lotto draw which took place in the Gabon
Saor last Monday night for e3,500. The numbers drawn were 2, 11, 17
and 22. The consolation prize winner was Noel and Nora O'Driscoll.
Next week's lotto draw will be held in the Cellar Bar and will have a
jackpot of e3,750.
John Bohane,
Secretary O'Donovan Rossa.
