Club Draw
The first Club Draw of the year takes place in the Copper Stil on Saturday next. Music on the night and your support would be greatly appreciated. Tickets are currently on sale from Club Members at a cost of €20 each which ensures inclusion in all 12 monthly draws over the course of the year. The Draw remains the club’s main source of income for the year, so we hope there will be a good response in 2007. We’d ask all ticket sellers to return tickets to Jackie Conboy (087) 8249820 as soon as possible. If you can’t get them to him during the week, we’d ask that they be returned as early as possible on Saturday night.

Scor na nÓg

Our Question Time team were involved in a thrilling Scór na nÓg Question Time final, which required five tie break rounds, before eventually Fenagh St Caillin’s earned the title. It was hard luck on our gallant trio of Niall O Connor. Paul Dockery and Damian Mc Gowan, but they certainly performed exceptionally on the night and were most unlucky not to progress.
