Secretary's Report AGM 2004 |

TUARASCÁIL AN RÚNAÍ A
Chairde Go Leir, Once
again it is my duty and indeed my privilege to present to you our members a
report on the activities of our Club for the past year. While
we cannot report that it was one of our more successful years as far as trophies
are concerned, it was nevertheless a very busy and long year for all concerned. At
Senior level we played six games and reached the semi-final of the Championship,
and after 14 games in the League we were defeated in the quarterfinal. Add 10
Challenge games to this list and you get a total of 30 games at Senior level
plus all the training sessions each week. That
s a lot of hurling in any year and great credit is due to our panel of Players
and their Mentors for all their tremendous efforts on behalf of the Club. We
also had a very busy year at Junior and Intermediate level, and reports have
been submitted for these teams. Thanks Once
again I wish to place on record my appreciation and thanks to my fellow officers
for their help and co-operation, and above all their friendship and support
throughout the past year. Many
thanks also to all the various committees throughout the Club who work so
diligently and who give so freely of their time and talents in the interest of
our Club. Teamwork
at committee level is equally as important as teamwork on the field of play, and
we are very fortunate in Blackrock to have such a dedicated group of people
involved in all activities of the Club. Preparing
for a Championship has now become a very time consuming job and great credit and
appreciation is due to our Mentors and all our players for their dedication and
all the sacrifices they make on behalf of the Club. Our thanks also to the
backroom team who look after the welfare of the teams, Dr. Paddy Hayes, Physio
Carol O Callaghan, First Aid John O Driscoll, Noel Flaherty, Hurleys, Jim and
May O Brien, Club gear and to the ladies Maureen O Keeffe, Mary Caplis and Helen
Ronan for their excellent catering during the year. Social Committee This
year we will be 18 years running the bingo, we expect to return a figure for
this year on par with last year. We would like to thank Roger Ryan, Dave
Cummins, Noel Carroll, Pat Dorgan and Tom Riordan for all their help during the
year. Condolences On
behalf of the Club I wish to extend sincere condolences to all those who have
suffered bereavement throughout the past year. The 10.30 a.m. Mass in St.
Michael s Church today was offered for the happy repose of their souls. Grounds Committee The
Grounds Committee had a very busy year and thanks to their efforts, both the
pitches and the general surrounding area of our Club was kept in excellent
condition throughout the season. Willie Coughlan joined us during the year and
has proved a welcome addition to the committee. Aidan Long also came on board as
caretaker this year and was a tremendous help to all concerned. REPORTS Many
