Hope to see you up and around very soon. Get well soon John. FIRST ROUND DATES Intermediate Hurling; Shamrocks v. Modeligo, Sat., 31st March, in Lismore at 3.00 p.m. Junior Hurling; Shamrocks v. Brickeys, Sunday, 1st April in Clashmore at 11.30 a.m. Junior Football; Shamrocks v. Old Parish, Sat., 21st April in Ardmore at 6 p.m. DEISE WOES CONTINUE Whether it's a hangover from last year's All Ireland final or a cunning ploy from Derek McGrath to lull everybody into thinking Waterford have lost the plot, but I haven't seen Waterford play so woefully bad for many a year. With three losses from three, and never even looking remotely like they were going to win any game, this level of performance can't be doing their confidence any good. It's obvious the management are not putting a priority on the league, but that's scant consolation for the faithful supporters who are paying good money to watch such poor fare. Unless something changes radically next week against Cork in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, I can't see much joy there. Division1 B here we come!

This should be a great occasion and to make sure that everything runs smooth we need co-operation from all involved. SYMPATHY MRS. PAT HANNON RIP The club wishes to extend our deepest sympathy to the Hannon family on the recent death of Pat Hannon. She is mother to Trish Quirke, Round Tower Hotel our main sponsor. She also has another daughter Martha Tierney who also resides in Ardmore. We also think of her other daughter Alice and son Pierce at this sad time Pat's love affair with Ardmore started a long time ago. This was something she shared with her husband Tim who was laid to rest in Ardmore twenty years ago. Eventually moving down to Ardmore for good, she became involved in different aspects of the community and always came across as a gentle kind person who will be missed by her children and grandchildren, her siblings and her many friends. May she rest in peace.
