Silvermines Weekly Notes 14th October 2024

Silvermines GAA Notes

Silvermines GAA will host a Reunion Night in Buddys, Capparoe on next Saturday October 19th.

While the club has its eyes firmly on the future as we build and develop both on and off the field it is always lovely to remember and remind ourselves of those who wore the jersey before us and who graced the fields of North Tipperary in the famed blue and white of Silvermines.

The following panels will be remembered at the event: 1970 North Minor Championship Winning Panel, the 1972 North and County Intermediate winning panel, the 1974 North Senior Winning Panel, the 1999 North and County Intermediate winning panel. 

It promises to be a great night in Buddy’s and all are invited. We look forward to seeing you all there.

We are through to this year’s county Junior B hurling decider following a hard-earned and hard-fought 1-19 to 2-9 victory over a determined Cahir side in Drombane on Saturday afternoon. Well done to our team and management on what was a fantastic day for the club and thank you to all supporters who made the journey.

Our Junior C side are through to a North final meeting with Ballina following a fantastic 0-14 to 0-11 victory over Shannon Rovers in Ballinderry on Sunday morning. Silvermines led by 0-6 to 0-5 at the interval following points from Fionn Ryan Mulqueen (two frees), Liam Grace, Sean Quinlan and David Boland (2). In what proved a tight encounter the ‘Mines added to their account with two further points from Fionn Ryan Mulqueen early in the second half while Kieran Fogarty chipped in with a brace also. Going down the home stretch Silvermines kept their noses in front with Ciaran Timmons, David Boland and Fionn Ryan Mulqueen (free) all on target to fire the ‘Mines into the North Final.

Silvermines GAA Club will be holding a clothing collection on the week of the 21st to the 25th of October. Clothing can be dropped at the dressing room (beside the gym) in Dolla on any of the above evenings (Mon-Fri) between 6.30pm and 7.30pm. All funds raised will go towards supporting the One Club fundraising and Dolla Running Costs. Duvets, Soiled Clothes and Pillows are not allowed to be dropped in.

Our U-15 B hurlers are down to play Portroe in Moneygall at 11 am on Sunday morning next in the semi-final of the North shield competition. Best of luck to all involved.

We have been drawn alongside Kiladangan, Nenagh Eire Og and Roscrea in Group 2 of this year’s North Tipperary U-21 ‘A’ championship. We face Kiladangan in round one on Sunday October 20th at 12 noon in Dolla.

Our club Lotto is now at €3,200.  Tickets can be bought from committee members or in a number of outlets in Nenagh where the Lotto jackpot is displayed. Lotto tickets can also be bought and renewed online.
