Our annual Christmas Event, Married Men v Single Men is being held on the 28th December 2012. We are trying to encourage as many past and present members/players as possible to come along for a day’s craic. As part of the day’s event we are making this a Reunion of the 1985 Intermediate League and Championship (Double) winning team and would love to see you there on the day to meet up with all of your old friends. Anybody who has a video of the 1985 final could you please contact Brendan Nelis.

The itinerary for the day is the following: At 2.30pm we will host the Married Men v Single Men. So we are keen to get as many past players stripped out for this. If you would rather not play, please still come along and watch from the Des Fox Pavilion. This will be followed by some refreshments. At 5pm we will have a Night at Races in the Des Fox Pavilion. At 8pm Music and Entertainment will be provided by Stevie O’Neill.

Any club members interested in coaching any youth teams next year please contact Joe Mc Caul. Even if it’s only to help out. Any age group.

EOGHAN RUADH

Last week’s Nifty Fifty winner was Mr E Donnelly of Derryvale and the winning ticket was sold by Gareth McGrath. The winner didn’t match the bonus number so that £5000 jackpot is still there to be won. For your chance to win why not purchase a ticket from any of our weekly sellers? Better still, sign up for club membership at £5 per month by direct debit and you’ll be entered in the next fifty draws from the date of joining. With Christmas coming, why not take a chance. See any committee member for details.

Awards just keep coming Eoghan Ruadh’s way this season. Twenty five years on from when his father Pádraig captained Queen’s University Hurlers in the Fitzgibbon Cup final, earning a Combined Universities Hurling selection to boot, young Ruairí Devlin was this week named on the Ulster Colleges All-Star Hurling team at centre-half back. Congratulations to Ruairí, his proud parents and his school.

The draw has now been made for the second Dan Morgan Memorial Masters Ball-Wall Hurling Competition. Featuring two sections, one for current players and another for veterans the competition will be played off between 31st December 2012 and 13th January 2013. Tómas Colton and Pádraig Devlin are taken to contest the veteran’s final according to those in the know. John Devlin defends his title in the section reserved for current players against a host of young pretenders..

As usual the club monks (that’s those without current girlfriends in tow), have been busily using their spare time to draft some very funny pages on a range of social media manuscripts. All sorts of spoof scenarios are beginning to appear. These range from all the latest betting on the forthcoming competitions as well as betting on the upcoming Christmas Jumpers Night for all the club coaches. All club coaches and officials are asked to assemble at Cano’s this Thursday evening, preferably wearing their favourite Christmas Jumper. The winner will enjoy a shopping trip to Belfast with Cathal and Paula, all night parking at Castle Court with midnight return the following night.

Now a plug for this year’s club calendar and this year designer Cathal McErlean has really surpassed himself. So if your son or grandson played any part in Eoghan Ruadh’s clean sweep this year, you really ought to own one of these historic mementos. Every team is featured including events throughout the year that took Eoghan Ruadh far and wide. The calendars are available from Cathal McErlean right up to the end of the week, if you want one in time for Christmas and really are worth the £10 cost. So hurry as I hear stocks are fast running out.
