Sympathy.

The committee and membership of Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickham GAA club extends their deepest sympathies to the extended Hogan family Holystack

on the death of Mrs Nora Hogan on Friday last after a long illness borne with dignity and courage. The Hogan family have a long involvement with

the club and Nora’s grandchildren are continuing this tradition with representatives on a number of our teams in hurling, football and camogie.

Co. Board Draw.

Think back to last year, especially September and those great victories and joyous celebrations in Croke Park and Semple Stadium.

Well it takes a lot of effort both physically and financially to provide the proper structures throughout the Premier County at all

levels from schools to clubs right through to County teams, to reach those heights witnessed in September last. And now you have the

opportunity to keep Tipp at the top , all you have to do to play your part is join the Tipperary GAA Clubs Draw which has ½ million euro

prize fund, It’s a 12 monthly draw which costs 100 euro or 10 euro per month (2 months free). There are fantastic prizes including Cars, cash

prizes,TVs, holidays etc each month and better still your club receives 50% ie 50 euro back so you are helping at all levels. The

draw fund returns in excess of 1 million to clubs and contributes large sums to coaching and games development throughout the County and

your help is needed more than ever to ensure that this funding continues. Club promoters will be visiting homes in the Parish over

the coming weeks before the first draw which will be held on Friday the 20th of May and you can make up your mind at that time. Thank you

for your continued support of our club.

Memberships.

We are again asking all players, mentors and supporters to please pay up their membership fees for this year.The day to day running of any

club in these times is an onerous one and surely the very least that should be done by indiduals is to pay their membership to help

maintain the status quo. Those players that have been injured over the years can testify how important it is to be insured, especially when

surgical intervention is necessary. Please contact Margaret Hayes, Michael Shanahan, Richard Moloney or any Club Officer ASAP. Thank you.
