THANK YOU – WILLIE FLYNN MEMORIAL GOLF CLASSIC

We had a wonderful weekend at Rockwell Rovers, Willie Flynn Memorial Golf Classic, we were so lucky to have the sunshine on us for both days. Lots of teams entered the arena in Dundrum House Hotel, Golf & Leisure Resort, some left very happy, others just had fun!

The club is very grateful for your continued support. We finished off the weekend in Barron’s Bar, New Inn with a presentation to prize winners, followed by our raffle and auction. All monies raised in the auction is being donated to a charity very close to our hearts Cancer Clinical Trial Unit, Cork University Hospital, the auction was a huge success and raised over €5,000! Thanks to all the hard-working Golf Committee who put in huge work for weeks to make this a great weekend. Thanks to the teams that came and played and supported our Golf Classic. Thanks to all that sold and bought raffle tickets, helped with food etc your support is much appreciated.  Thanks to Dundrum House Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort Club for allowing us the use of their beautiful golf course over the weekend and Mary Frances Barron for facilitating the prize given and auction. Finally, thanks to the Flynn family for supporting us all the way, Willie Snr (RIP) was one of Rockwell Rovers great clubmen.

CAMOGIE NOTES

It was hard luck on our u14 team last Saturday June 18 after a thriller of a match. Our girls lost out by 1 point in the County U14 shield final at the County Camogie grounds, The Ragg against Silvermines. The game was so exciting, it was anyone’s game, but our girls put on some display and even though we lost, we can hold their heads high. The skills they have improved on is second to none, and the teamwork, what can we say but “brilliant”. The loss will make us better and we will be back! A big thank you to mentors PJ Moloney, Kieran Durkan, Louise Moloney and Tara Stafford and to all parents who travelled on the day to support the girls.

ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE TO KNOCK 2022

On Saturday 18 June. Please contact Margaret on 087 0568216 or Mary Jo on 086 2112019 to book a place on the bus. Coach departs Cashel at 7am, Golden at 7.15am, Marian Hall, Tipp at 7.30, Monard at 7.40, Oola at 7.45, Pallasgreen at 7.50 and Boher at 8am. What does a pilgrim find at Knock? A chance to pray, a chance to relax, a chance to find peace. The devotions that have developed in the course of one hundred years are guaranteed to touch the soul. To be with other praying people at a Shrine is to get a unique chance to stand back from life and let God throw light on its bits and pieces. To journey out from home on pilgrimage throws light on home. Travel broadens the mind, in more senses than one.
