Lotto – Our next lotto draw will be held in “The Dugout” on Saturday 27th October. Jackpot is €12,000. Colm & Gerry’s Team is hosting the draw. Lotto envelopes €2 each or three envelopes for €5.
St Joseph’s Boys – Well done to our U15’s on securing an important victory over Fenagh on Friday evening last, leading just a point at half time with play not going as well as anticipated and scores hard to come by, midway through the second half we found ourselves trailing by 3 points after conceding a goal, however maybe this was the wakeup call as after this the boys got into the game and pushed on to win by 4-8 to 2-6. They now play Melvin Gaels on Saturday morning in St Mary’s Park, Carrick-on-Shannon in the championship semi-final. Best of luck to all.
