ST. JOHNS NOTES WEEKENDING SEPT 10th 2017

The u16s Roinn A before last weeks drawn Co. Final
​U16s SET TO DO IT ALL AGAIN
 
O'Loughlin Gaels 0:15 to 0:15 James Stephens
This was a very tense game throughout with The Village having the better of the first half exchanges going to the break 1 point to the good against a stiff breeze.  The young Gaels were going to have it all to do in the 2nd half and in a game where free taking was a big factor out marksman Conor Kelly showed some bottle in scoring a last minute free to equalise the game so that the Gaels live to fight another day. A large crowd attended the game in Jenkinstown and all were very well entertained. Lets hope that the young lads from both teams get their just rewards and the opportunity to re-play this game in Nowlan Park. Surely a reward for making Co. Final should be a day out in The Park! Well done all..lovely hurling.
 
 
CLUB LOTTO - €20,000
There was no winner of last weeks Club Lotto. The numbers drawn were 06, 11, 20, 21 and the bonus number was 5. Next  week’s Jackpot prize will be €20,000 so make sure to get a ticket from the usual promotors. Tickets only €2 available from the bar http://www.oloughlingaels.gaa.ie/lotto
 
 
SENIORS TO CONTEST LEAGUE FINAL
 
The Senior Hurlers will contest this years League Final on Saturday in Nowlan Park at 3.30pm against neighbours Dicksboro.  Both teams topped their respective groups and both will be eager to maintain momentum going into the championship. It promises to be a good one – plenty of St. John’s Parish support needed!
 
The Juniors are scheduled to play their League Championship match against Ballyhale on Friday evening at MW Hire Dunmore at 8.15pm. This weekend also sees the u14s take on James Stephens in the opening round of the Roinn A Championship (No venue confirmed at time of submitting notes) Please support all the club’s teams

ALL-IRELAND WEEKEND
 
IT was a disappointing weekend for two of our stars. On Saturday Huw Lawlor played a good game but unfortunately was on the defeated team when the final whistle blew at the All-Ireland u21 Final against Limerick. No faulting Huw’s effort though he gave as good as he got!. Laura Murphy  was on the Kilkenny Camogie Panel that were pipped in the final by Cork at the weekend. But congratulations to Eva Collins and Abigail Egan who both played big roles during the Kilkenny u14 Camogie campaign that saw them achieve All-Ireland glory. Finally it was a very exciting weekend for young u8 hurler TJ Comerford who had the distinction of being one of the flag bearers at last weekend’s Camogie All-Ireland in Croke Park. Well done to all our players representing the club and parish at the highest level.
 
Rian Duffy & Billy Dwyer u6 Players of The Week
U6s PLAYERS OF THE WEEK # 23
 
Well done to u6 Players Rian Duffy and Billy Dwyer who were this week's top men.  Juvenile Training will be winding down over the next few weeks as most teams complete their respective seasons.  Thanks to all the mentors, parents and especially players for making 2017 yet another enjoyable one.  We’re already looking forward to 2018. There’s a few events still to get done so keep an eye out for schedules and please support all our young Gaels.

MR. E. RYAN.                                                                                                                             
The death has taken place at his home in Cellarstown of Eddie Ryan. He went to his eternal reward peacefully after a long battle with illness which he fought with fortitude to the end.  Determination was his wish to the last and how fitting that he should be well enough to attend the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of his brother Msgr. Michael Ryan in Castlecomer on June 10th. A popular member of the farming community he loved the land and was also a great admirer and  follower of  local and Kilkenny hurling.  Following  Requiem Mass Con-celebrated in St. Johns Church, Kilkenny by Msgr. Michael Ryan P.P. Castlecomer (Chief Celebrant)  assisted by Bishop Seamus Freeman and numerous priests of the Diocese he was laid to rest in St. Kieran's Cemetery.      
He will be sadly missed by his wife Esther ; daughters Sarah, Marie, Patricia ; sister Mary ; brothers Patrick and Fr. Michael (P.P. Castlecomer) ; sons-in-law Gerry, Derek and Liam ; grandchildren Eva, Christopher, Ethan and Daniel ; brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces, other  relatives, neighbours and a host of  friends
