Newcastle

NEWCASTLE GAA

There was no jackpot winner last week. There was seven match-three winners scooping €30 each. The jackpot now stands at 11,600. €Tickets available in the shop and the pub. The next draw is on Monday, April 10.

Newcastle had a disappointing result away to Enniskerry in the league on Saturday, final score 2-12 to 13 points. There were a few positives on the night with Ruari Farrell having an outstanding game at centre back. Rob o Gara, Shane Magee, Philly o Connor were the best going going forward. There is plenty of work to do to get ready for the championship.

The race night was well intended on Saturday night in the Castle Inn, the amount raised has yet to finalised.

GOOD FRIDAY LUNCH

A soup and scone lunch will be held in the Parish Centre, Church Lane, Newcastle (opposite the Church of Ireland Church), at 12.30. During lunch, which will, in the monastic tradition be eaten in silence, Jesus’ life from His birth to His crucifixion will be read from St Luke’s Gospel. There is no charge for lunch instead there will be an opportunity to make a donation to the ongoing work of the Tiglin centre. We invite everyone to join us for a period of stillness and reflection on this most special day.
