Sportsfield

The AGM of the Rockhill Bruree Sportsfield Development Committee will be held on Friday, November 18th, at 8.00 pm in St. Patrick’s NationalSchool. These are exciting time for the future of the sportsfield so, hopefully, there will be a large and representative attendance at the meeting. Everyone is welcome.

Bruree GAA

Players Development Fund: Bruree GAA is holding its Player Development Fund annual draw again this year. The 2011 draw has €4,000 in prizes over four weekly draws. And the good news is that the subscription is still the same - just €20 for the four draws. The first draw will be held on Monday, November 28th, with the other draws on subsequent Monday nights. The Grand Prize in the final draw on Monday, December 19th is a weekend for two inNew York or €1,000 in cash. Contact any member of Bruree GAA to join the draw.

45 Drive

Winners of last week’s 45 Drive were Mary Noonan and Evelyn Byrnes with seven games. Runners up were Eddie Ryan and Joe Carey, Noreen Hayes and Josephine Lynch, Tom Collins and Patsy Healy, Mary Margaret Noonan and Nora May Donworth, Fintan Stone and Mike O’Brien, John Sheehan and Mary O’Leary and Tom O’Rourke and John Moloney with six games. Raffle prizes went to Brendan O’Kelly, Joe Carey and John Moloney (x2). The 45 Drive continues in the Community Centre every Tuesday night, starting at 8.30 pm sharp.

Juvenile GAA

The Under 14 County Hurling final against Killeedy was played in Feenagh on Saturday. Unfortunately, Bruree were out of luck on the day and lost out on a 1-6 to 0-5 scoreline. Well done to the team and mentors on a great season.

Community Games

Bruree Rockhill Community Games held an AGM on October 18th as previously advertised. The current committee has come to the following decision: Bruree Rockhill Community Games does not intend to affiliate for the year 2012 due to lack of parental interest and poor attendance.

The local Community Games committee will remain inactive unless sufficient numbers of people contact the local secretary at 087-2847429 and express their intention to support in the organisation of local activities.

If sufficient interest is forthcoming, a further meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 15th.
