Playing Activities
It’s all systems go in the Doheny GAA Club over the last week. The senior footballers and the junior hurlers played a number of challenge games in preparation of their respective championships. The senior footballers hosted Carbery Division and the junior hurlers played Kilbrittain and Uibh Laoire. The senior footballers lost on a score-line of 1-11 to 3-11. The junior hurlers were successful on their two outings, defeating Kilbrittain 1-21 to 11 points and Uibh Laoire 2-13 to 0-09. Obviously it’ll take a number of weeks to blow out the cobwebs but the desire is there amongst players and management in both codes to make progress in this year’s condense playing season. Games and training sessions are coming thick and fast. The Doheny Junior footballers are fixed to play Clann naGael in the championship on July 26th at 7pm in Rossmore. The senior footballers will out be the same weekend against Fermoy in the opening round of the senior A championship. The Juniors hurlers are down to play Ballinscarthy in the Junior A Hurling Championship in Enniskeane at 3.30pm on August 2nd .

Lotto
The Club lotto will resume this Monday July 13th. The Jackpot stands at €2,400. The Doheny lotto tickets can be purchased through the usual ticket sellers i.e. Jerry O’Mahony & Paul Murray etc or in the following premises Supervalu, D Oil, Parkview Stores (Gordons), Dunmanway Launderette & Connolly’s Shoe Shop. We’d encourage everyone to support the lotto. Like a lot of other organizations the Doheny GAA Club wasn’t immune to the impacts of Covid 19. Loans and bills still have to be paid and the postponement of the lotto for the past 4 months has had a significant negative impact on the finances of the Club.
