GAA CLUB NOTES
team of the week goes to the under-14 girls who have been playing very well in challenge games only to have their fixture game postponed last Thursday due to the weather. However, between football and camogie, these girls will be busy in the coming weeks.
The first under-12 boys fixture is on April 18 and the under-14 boys start on April 13, with the Wexford football feile on April 9.
Last weekend, the adult hurlers went down to Shamrocks by one point, while both the Adult B team and the minor footballers were given walkovers by Rapperees and Blackwater respectively. The minor hurlers were defeated by Rathnure on Sunday.
There was no jackpot winner in the lotto draw on the 27th. There was one match-three winner who gets €200. The numbers were 9, 12, 15 and 16. Next draw, for €6,300, takes place in Noels on April 10.
