Feile begins this weekend and we would like to extend a warm welcome to Naomh Ciaran u14 Girls & Killoe Og  u14 Boys to the club.  Our girls play two games on Friday evening in Kilmore, Wexford while St. Pat's boys travel to Rathgarogue in Wexford for their games.  On Saturday morning from 10:30 the St. Pat's Girls & Boys team play the visiting teams in Dunbur.  Following refreshments they will all travel for their afternoon games, the Girls play in Pairc Gharman in Wexford and the Boys travel to our centre of excellence in Ballinakill, Rathdrum.  Sunday will see the semi-finals and finals of the Shield and Cup take place. You can follow the results on www.gaa.ie\feile . Please join us in Dunbur to embrace Feile 2015 and all our players. A lot of hard work has gone on behind the scenes with coaches, mentors and teams. A special thanks to Chairperson Veronica Leonard and her hard working committee who have worked tirelessly to pull this event together. The club would like to wish our boys and girls the very best of luck.

Our Senior Ladies have their first match in the Championship this week. They play Baltinglass at the pitch on Wednesday evening. Throw in is at 8 o'clock. Best of luck to the girls and management involved. Please come and support.

Well done to our U12's Holly McSorley, Ellen Griffin, Georgia Brennan Kelly and Lauren Gregory who were part of this year's U12 County team who won the Division 2 Leinster Blitz. Also well done to Aisling, Katie, Leah and Ava who represented Wicklow B in the U12 Leinster blitz. Keep up the hard work girls.

The Ladies County team is holding a race night fundraiser on the 3rd July. As part of this fundraiser the girls on the team are selling a horse in the races for €30, or the opportunity to be a trainer, jockey or owner of a horse for €10. St. Pat's players on the county team are Rose Fagan, Laoise Marron, Niamh O'Brien and Niamh McGettigan. The players would greatly appreciate any support for this cause. If you would like to sponsor a horse or become part of a horse's team, please contact Rose on 0879091714. Also the race night promises to be a night of great fun, so any support on the night would also be appreciated, and would be a fantastic build up to their first game out in the Leinster Championship on the 5th July.

 

It was a perfect evening for hurling training on Tuesday. Danny Bouchier had the grass in St. Pat's NS perfect for the young hurlers and there was a great turnout. Stand out performers and winners of the players of the week for this week were U8 Jack Neville and U7 Leon Noctor.

 

The club would like to thank Brian Gleeson for all his hard work over the past year in helping with the grant approval, along with John Smith, Gary Jameson, Ian McAuley and Alan O'Brien. As part of the grant, work has just been completed replacing the small square in both goalmouths with astro turf, which looks very well. In the near future our floodlights will be upgraded and replaced, and new equipment is being purchased which includes portable juvenile goals.

 

This week's club lotto jackpot of €3,000 was not won. Numbers drawn were 6, 14, 16 and 17. The bonus number was 10. Shaunna Byrne managed to draw three numbers claiming the €250 prize. If you're interested in purchasing or selling tickets you can contact Alan O'Brien on 0876214903.

 

Our sincerest condolences to the family of Una Townsend (née Doyle) Ballypierce and formerly of Station Road, Bagenalstown, Kildavin, Carlow.
