Annacurra GAA It was with great sadness that we learned of passing of our club president Ned Doyle. Ned was a club stalwart for many years and captained the team to an intermediate title in 1953 from wingback in their defeat of Baltinglass.

This is only one of many things we could say about this man. Currently, several of ned’s grandchildren continue his legacy representing the club from adult level down to juvenile.

The club extends our deepest sympathy to the doyle family and all concerned.

No winner in this week’s lotto jackpot; numbers 1, 2, 17 and 28; two match-three winners: Jimmy Byrne, Coolahullen; Marty Winterbottom c/o postoffice. Next week’s jackpot €7,600.
