CLUB LOTTO NEWS – As a club, we endeavour to give the best possible experience to all our players and members. We field approximately 20 teams and have an ever-increasing membership at underage level, which is great for the club, however, this brings costs if we want to strive for the best for our members.

Our Club lotto is a means which allow us to do this. We feel that we need to put a bigger focus on this within the club members and would be grateful if you could give us a little help in this regard.

Try to do the lotto at least once per week €2 per line.

You can now do lotto online at http://bit.ly/StMarysKiltoghert

You can do a yearly lotto for €80 which enters you into 52 draws.

We already have 4 teams that go out in town on a Saturday night for 1 hour selling the lotto and we are trying to build another 2 or 3 teams. If we can do this, it would mean that each team would only have to go out selling for 1 hour every 6 or 7 weeks. We are looking for 10 or 12 people who might give a hand by joining a team. If you can please contact the following Joe Shannon on 0872385644 or Seán McGoldrick on 0862347984

Our OsKaRs was a resounding success but this money is ring-fenced for future club development and not the day to day running at the club.

We would like to thank you for your past support and your support into the future.
