REBELS’ BOUNTY 2022
Enrolment for the 2022 Rebels’ Bounty Draw is now open and the deadline of February 21st for final entries is fast approaching. This is one of our main fundraising focuses for the year, with the club and county both benefitting from the sign-ups. Last year, we had a good increase on the prior year and we hope to retain all of our members for the coming year, and hopefully add some new members also. All proceeds from every new member who joins the draw will go to Castletownroche GAA Club. Draws take place on a monthly basis, with 30 individual prizes each month. The prize pool for the year is €500,000. The draws for January and February will take place on the last Thursday of the month. To be in with a chance, please contact any committee member or text 087-6175447 or 087-9261367 to get further details.
EVERY STEP COUNTS CHALLENGE 2022
Castletownroche GAA Club has signed up for the Irish Life sponsored “Every Steps Counts” Challenge. The objective is for each club to cover at least 4,000km between January 19th and February 23rd. We are well on track to meet the target, with almost 3,500km completed at the time of submitting these notes. It is great to see so many people supporting the challenge. Note that the public lighting is on over at the GAA pitch every night of the week from 5.00 to 8.00 for those wishing to use the GAA facilities for this great initiative.
HARD LUCK TO BALLYGIBLIN HURLERS
Ballygiblin’s great run in the Junior Hurling Championship came unstuck in heartbreaking fashion last Saturday at the very last step in the All-Ireland Junior Hurling final in Croke Park, where they were edged out by Mooncoin of Kilkenny by a single point. It wasn’t to be on the day but the Avondhu representatives put in a mighty showing and could have snatched it at the death. They can hold their heads high and we wish them the best of luck in the coming season.
