Club Notes 7th January 2010

Happy New Year

Firstly, I would like to wish all our members and supporters a happy, healthy and a successful 2010.

Farney Barney Boxing

“Wow what a night’s entertainment”. It’s very hard to express in words what occurred at the Farney Barney Boxing night. Words such as brilliant, outstanding, magnificent only come close to describe the evening. The commitment and intensity shown by all boxers was truly inspiring and more importantly they showed a healthy respect for each other and I admire every single one of them for dishing up a wonderful nights entertainment and craic to raise funds for the county team. Hands up to our very own Anthony “Tayto” Tate for having the nerve and guts to get in the ring as it certainty was not for the faint hearted. Unfortunately, on the night he was narrowly defeated by a single point but he can hold his head up high for a truly amazing performance. Many thanks to Raymond Treanor of the Maple Bar for sponsoring Anthony on the night. By the way, can someone check up on Charlie as he appeared to get weak at the knees during the intervals! I wonder why?

Pool Competition

Many thanks to everyone who entered the pool competition held on St. Stephen’s Day in the Maple Bar. Martin Carroll was the eventual winner by defeating Cormac McFadden in the final. The biggest shock of the afternoon was the defeat of hot favourite Raymond Treanor in the first round by Darragh “The Giant Killer” Dempsey. Afterwards Raymond maintained that “he let the little guy win”. We believe you Raymond but thousands wouldn’t!!!

Player of the Year Awards

Congratulations to Garry Calvert and Cathal Sheridan who were named as senior player of the year and reserve player of the year respectively. The presentation of the awards will take place at our annual social night, details of which are to be arranged.
