Armagh GAA Club Draw
The very successful Armagh GAA Club draw is running again in 2019. The draw takes place over 4 months - March, April, May and June - with 16 prizes on offer each month. The first prize each month is a Renault Clio, right down to a 16th prize of £200.
Tickets are priced at £100 each with £80 from every ticket going directly to the club after we reach our minimum target of sales. They can be bought by paying the £100 up front or 4 monthly instalments of £25 per month.
Tickets can be purchased from any of our committee members and the more tickets we sell, the more money the club raises. We are encouraging all our club members, families and friends to purchase a ticket either individually or maybe as a group of 4 friends or family members clubbing together at £25 each.
It is brilliant opportunity to raise much needed funds for the club whilst also being in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes.
Anyone with any sold tickets is asked to bring them to the club on Monday night from 8.30pm onwards.
Referees Needed
Due to a shortage of referees for this coming season, all clubs must provide a referee for U14 games (please note they will not be refereeing home games). They must be of 18 years old, male or female and to be available on Tuesday evenings. They will be paid £25 per game. They will be appointed to games within a 10-mile radius of their home club. They will receive training, uniform and the full support of the Minorboard. Contact Yasmin Mackin, our club secretary for further details.
Well Done
Well done to Damian and Jack Beattie who played some great darts on Friday night to see them qualify for the semi-finals of the regional pairs which are scheduled to take place in June. Shay Carroll and Nathan Morgan almost joined them in the semi-finals but they were unlucky to beaten in their final game on Friday night.
Lotto
Last week’s winning lotto numbers were 7, 20, 25 & 32. There were no jackpot winners and 1 x match three winner. The lotto jackpot is slowly but surely creeping up again and now stands at £2,950.
Condolences
Everyone at the club would like to offer their sympathy to the family of Dessie McLearnon who has passed away. Dessie was the grandfather of our ladies’ footballers Aoibheann and Ciara Jones and our former player Eoghan Jones. Dessie was also the father and father-in-law of our good friends and Cairde members Angela and David Jones. Ár dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
