St. Patricks club notes
November 25, 2014
Nets Go Missing (Stolen):
Following an All Ireland Colleges senior football semi final between Trinity College Dublin and I.T Tralee held in our Sand base pitch last Thursday evening in Rhebogue under lights (Thursday 20th November) but early Friday morning when a club member arrived at the pitch at 8.30am the Goal nets were taken. The club is appealing to those who were reasonable to return them or if anyone in the Rhebogue area or walking up around Plassey over the weekend might come across them lying or dump somewhere please make contact with the club. Club contact is Secretary Colm O Brien 0879144891.
Sympathies:
Celia Slattery (Nee Shanny) of Garryowen formerly of St Patrick's Road who died recently was a member of a great St Patrick's family. Her brothers Anthony and Paddy won County senior hurling medals with Saints in 1949 and 1950. Celia sister Ann was goalie for St Patrick's camogie teams and won County championships medals. Their cousins Mick and Paddy Cunneen gave great service to St Patrick's
Upcoming Events:
Now that events on the field is nearly coming to a close but the committee will still be very active and support for the upcoming events will be needed when asked such as Leaflets Drops, Christmas Draw, Underage Awards, Christmas underage party etc. Please don't wait to be asked come along and volunteer.
GAA National Draw:
Once again the G.A.A. will run a national draw for all clubs around the country with top class prizes on offer. The club took part in this draw last year and the club were very successful with the draw that the club decided to enter the draw again this year.

Senior Football:
Our senior footballers ended their season with Silverware following their 4-10 to 1-12 victory over St. Marys/Sean Finns of Rathkeale in the County football league division 1 final. Leading by 1-06 to 0-06 at the break Saints made up for the disappointment of championship success and brought home a first senior football County trophy and title to Rhebogue in over fifty years. All in St Patrick's would like to congratulate the hard working panel of players and management for the year gone by and we are now looking forward to more success on the field in 2015.
