Bunbrosna GAA Notes 22/09/24

No winner of Club Lotto on Sunday. Numbers drawn were 4, 11, 12 & 14. 6 Match 3 were Aidan Finnan, Emily Bannon, Robert Dutton, Kenny Murphy, Enda Murphy & Jimmy McCormack. Sellers prize - Jimmy McCormack. Next draw on Sunday 6th October. Jackpot will be €4000.

We are very grateful for the ongoing support we receive towards our Lotto from Club members and supporters, far and wide, without which we would not be able to run our Club.

We play St. Joseph’s in the Semi Final of the Junior Championship on Sunday afternoon next in Miltown at 1:30pm. All support is greatly appreciated.

We will be hosting the Official opening of our Astro and Playground facilities on Saturday 26th October next. The day will consist of many activities including underage games and will be followed by a community night in Tormey’s afterwards. We hope you can join us for this special celebration.

Congratulations to the Inny Shamrock U14s who overcame Tyrellspass in a titanic battle in the Semi Final of the Championship on Wednesday evening last. 

In a repeat of last year's U13 Semi Final, both teams showed huge progression in the last 12 months and played out a thrilling battle which was level at 5 goals and 10 points each as the game entered injury time. Our lads managed to kick two more points to get over the line and earn a place in final. 

Fair play to Tyrellspass who never gave up and battled right to the end. Well done players and coaches.

The Final has been fixed for Saturday 28th September, next in Ballymore at 5:00pm against Tubberclair. Best of luck to all the players and coaches. All support would be greatly appreciated.

Preparations for Scór na nOg are now underway for the year ahead. The first round will take place on the first weekend in November. If anyone is interested in helping out or taking part, please contact Clare Moran.

Grounds Crew meet every Tuesday at 10:30am in Bun for a cup of tea and to do some work around the pitch - all welcome!

The Playground Play Date continues on Fridays at 10:30am at the Playground and Old Dressing Rooms. All babies and toddlers welcome. Contact Kate on 087 3600994 on Danielle on 086 1256290 if you would like more information.

This Friday, the Play date group are hosting a Bewleys Coffee Morning in aid of the North Westmeath Hospice.

The North Westmeath Hospice is a voluntary organisation which was set up in 1994 to help provide specialist palliative care services for the people of Westmeath.

Pop in for a cup of tea or coffee and there promises to be some delicious home baking on offer.

All at Bunbrosna GAA wish to offer our sincere condolences to the Murtagh family, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, on the sad passing of Luke. 

Luke grew up in Bunbrosna in the old shop and was a keen follower of the club. He played with the club for a number of years before moving to pastures new. Despite relocating to Tipperary, Luke remained an avid Bun supporter and often travelled home to attend games.

To his wife, Anne, his children, Blathnaid, Niamh, Aoife, Fiona, Eoghan and Eamonn, extended family and friends, we offer you all our deepest sympathies at this sad time.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.
