Collect your social tickets this weekend
On Saturday evening, 5th March, Araglin GAA celebrates the most successful season in its history. The bulk of players attending the dinner dance in Cahir House Hotel will be picking up 3 medals - junior B county hurling, junior C county football and Div. 3 FL.
In a statement of intent, the club have recruited a highly rated hurling coach in Shane Hickey, who has ambitious plans for the year ahead. When you factor in our successful Sports Capital Grant application, it’s fair to say the club is on a high at the moment.
As a result, there’s huge demand for social tickets. These tickets (€50 each) will be distributed in Araglin Community Field on Saturday evening next (26th Feb.) at 5pm. Please make every effort to collect and pay for tickets.
REBELS’ BOUNTY SUCCESS
Once again, our supporters have dug deep to help their club by coming up with €100 for the Rebels’ Bounty Draw (formerly the Cork County Board Draw). Encouragingly, we’ve signed up some new recruits - all we need now is a winner or two.
LOTTO GOING WELL
Our weekly lotto is continuing to build up a head of steam. Both cash and online sales are on the increase as patrons seek to win the €5,500 jackpot. Lines are €2 each or 3 for €5. There are numerous options for those purchasing online.
Next draw is in Christy’s tonight, Thursday, 24th Feb. at 9.30pm. All welcome.
