On behalf of the club, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Tony and Judy Ahern on the birth of their daughter. Also, congratulations to Vincent and Aileen Sheehan on the recent birth of their third boy. Best wishes to all.
History was made yesterday as, for the first time ever, a member of the Newcastle West Camoige club, won an Ashbourne Cup medal. Meadhbh Nash played at midfield for UCC as they eventually got the better of the holders, Waterford IT, on a scoreline of 1-11 to 1-04. Well done Meadhbh!!
Hearty congratulations to the Junior A hurlers who won the County Final in Killmallock on Saturday last, October 20th. They beat a gallant Caherline team 1-16 to 0-7. They now will play in the Munster Junior Club Championships, (hosted by the Bruff club), early in 2002 as Limericks representatives.
No sooner was he home when he was gone again!! James Nash left for Germany this morning until June 2002 as part of his degree course. We hope to see him back in Newcastle West colours on his return.
Also in the past few weeks, the club have lost the considerable services of two rising stars.
Both James Nash and Brian Quirke have gone to summer in Nantucket and England, respectively.
Hopefully, their will still be games to play when they get home!!
Best wishes are extended from
all at the club to Tony Doyle, who has returned to Chicago after a time at home.
Hopefully it won't be too long 'til we see him in a Newcastle West jersey again!!
This week also sees the club loosing three other stalwarts, this time Australia
is the venue....Tommy Quinn, John Kelly and Liam Sheehy are off down under for a
year.
Congratulations to Shane Kelly on
winning a McGrath Cup medal with the Limerick Senior Football team on Thursday night,
May 3rd. Playing at half forward, they beat Tipperary, 0-13 to 1-07 in Clonmel.
Well Done Shane.
Best wishes to the Senior
Football team who play Athea on Friday the 9th of June in Abbeyfeale, in the
final of the Superbites sponsored West Senior Football Championship Final.A very
tough game is in prospect if the team are to follow in the footsteps of the 1998
team, who beat St. Kierans in the final. I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf
of the club, to wish all hurling, football and camoige players, the very best of
luck in their Junior Cert and Leaving Cert exams.
Congratulations to Neilus Sheehy and Joanne
Donegan on their upcoming wedding. If you are reading this after May 6th, they
are now Mr. and Mrs. Sheehy!! Best wishes from all involved with Newcastle West
GAA. Congratulations to the Limerick U-21 Football
team on their magnificent victories against Waterford and Westmeath recently.
Representing the club were Pádraig Fitzgerald and Declan Brouder. Both made
outstanding contributions to two famous Limerick wins.They now meet Tyrone in
the final on May 13th.Best of luck.
