The Enniscorthy Golf Club Charity Weekend on 26th and 27th Sept was a great success with everyone entering into the spirit of the event. Over €10,000 was raised which will be divided between Breast Cancer Research and It's Good to Talk.
Fortune favours the brave Enniscorthy native Joe Fortune has been appointed as Westmeath’s new hurling manager, succeeding Shane O’Brien, and marking his first foray into senior intercounty management. The Dublin-based Fortune is taking charge for an initial twoyear term with the option of a third year, as the Joe McDonagh Cup champions prepare for life back among the Liam MacCarthy Cup heavyweights in 2022. Westmeath were relegated to Division 2A following a winless top-flight league campaign this spring, but victory in the Joe McDonagh Cup final secured their return to the Leinster championship for the 2022 season. Fortune is a native of Enniscorthy but is more closely associated with hurling in the capital where he has left an indelible imprint, steering Dublin to Leinster titles at minor level (2007) and U-21 (2016). More recently he managed Ballyboden St Enda’s to the 2018 Dublin senior hurling crown, but he stepped down from the Boden hotseat in the wake of last year’s county final defeat to Cuala.
Congrats to Sarah Figgis and Aoife McCrea of the Rapparees/ Starlights on their recent All-Ireland camogie success with the county.
