GAA NOTES
Team of the week goes to the under-13 Hurlers, who beat Buffers in their final last week. Two other finals were changed. The under-18 camogie final was moved to the ninth and the under-15 football final is moved to Saturday the 16th in Patrick’s Park. The under-15 Hurling final hopefully took place on the ninth.
Because of the lateness in the camogie final, the Ciara Ryan Blitz has been postponed till the New Year when clubs are active again. Hopefully there will be good news to report next week in both the Rackard league and Mini Sevens.
There was no jackpot winner in the draw on the fourth. There were three match-three winners. The numbers were 4, 9, 14 and 26. Next draw is in the Gap on Monday the 18th. Jackpot is now €2,900.
