Well Done
Well done to our underage footballer Niamh Muckian who took part in the game at halftime during the Armagh Senior Ladies match on Sunday and she got herself on the scoresheet with a well taken goal. Well done also to underage footballer James McCann who picked up an Armagh Down boxing title at the weekend.
Armagh GAA Club Draw
The very successful Armagh GAA Club draw is running again in 2020. 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 £10k, 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 a brilliant opportunity to raise much needed funds for the club whilst also being in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes.
