Lotto: 12-13-16-21. 4 match 3 winners were Mary Eastwood; Ava Mc Crory; Mickey Barr and J Morrison. Next draw Mon 22nd July with JACKPOT £2700.
This break for the lotto is a good time to give a huge Thank-you to all our lotto sellers but especially Patsy Gallagher, Eamon Mc Keown and Philly Mc Kenna who are diamonds and do tremendous work for our club lotto. If there are any young members who would like to sell a few lotto tickets in their area over the summer please contact a committee member.
Club Donaghmore: Congratulations to Thad Hughes winner of the £150 and Sean Moore £50.
All Ireland Feile 2019: The Feile weekend proved to be a great journey for the club as a whole. Although the dream ended a little early it is fair to say everyone who travelled came away with all the joys of the Feile experience. Knockmore hosted the team and supporters brilliantly. Everyone agreeing that we could learn a lot from their organisation, generosity and sportsmanship. Fr Peter re-kindled some old friendships and some new friendships were formed. The club can be very proud of the supporters, management and of course the players for representing St Patricks so proudly. Sincere thanks to the many supporters who have found a new bond and voice which will hopefully carry through to the terraces and stands at home. Vocal and colourful especially as we all stood together for the semi final. Thanks again to everyone who made the trip to Mayo at whatever stage, fantastic support.
U14 lads: Congratulations to every lad on the team, you were the team to watch in Mayo. Full of hunger, talent and energy you all performed exceptionally. Keep it going. The team themselves may still feel a bit raw after their dream was taken away but they can rest assured they have left their managers, parents and supporters very proud. A defeat is only a bad thing if we learn nothing from it and the suspicion is that these lads will learn and capitalise in the future. Starting with their Grade 1 League Final V Loughmacrory on Thurs evening at 8:15pm in Beragh. (please note the time change). Get your colours on and support this exceptional team. Keep an eye on social media for results and fixtures.
Supporters: Again sincere thanks to those who travelled to Mayo. Hopefully we can take the same craic and energy to the stand at home to cheer on the club in the second half of the season and we can do it with the same colour. It was fantastic to see all the young Pats out with their flags. Lets see them more at home. Please note that while the U14’s season ends this week there is another talented group in the U16’s getting ready to start. Somewhat of a purple patch for our youth teams, so please get out and cheer them on.
