WATERGRASSHILL GAA CLUB NOTES - Week 11 2019

Blackwater Motors SEAT host Watergrasshill U13’s visit

Huge thanks to Blackwater Motors SEAT Fermoy for hosting the Watergrasshill U13 Hurlers on Saturday 9th March, and giving the lads the chance to meet their hero, Cork hurling star Patrick Horgan. Patrick Horgan is a Brand Ambassador for Blackwater Motors SEAT Fermoy and our lads were given the honour of handing over the keys of a brand new 191 SEAT Arona to Patrick Horgan. Patrick was an absolute gent, signed hurleys, jerseys and helmets and stood into every photo with the lads - thanks, Patrick and best of luck to you and the Cork senior Hurlers for the year ahead.

Fixtures & Results

It was a quiet week on the competitive playing front last week. Our Intermediates play Rd 3 of the Hurling League this Sunday, March 17th away to Blarney. So if you have the parade done, why not take the family onto Blarney for the afternoon and cheer on Eddie and the lads. Looking a little further ahead, and a date for the diary, our first game in the Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship against Inniscarra is fixed for Friday April 19th @ Pairc Ui Rinn at 7.45pm. We would love a big turnout to cheer on the lads that night, Hon the Hill.

Congratulations:

Congratulations to Watergrasshill Community Association who celebrated the 20 year anniversary of the construction of the community centre with an afternoon of Music, Drama and Dance. A great crowd turned out and were treated to an excellent array of talent. A great event and congrats to all involved. Rumour has it it may become an annual event and why not seeing as we have so much talented entertainers in our community.
