LOTTO

There was no winner of last week’s lotto for €4,000 and the jackpot is now worth €4,200, the next draw will take place in the Roundy house on 1st of April. The 5 lucky dip winners of €20 each were: Conor Quirke, Mike Hartnett, Richard Holland, Noreen Mullane and Betty Kiely (CTR). We would continue to encourage as many as possible to use the online facility at Clubforce, or alternativ­ely, tickets can be purchased in the shop, the Roundy House, Grindel’s, or your usual seller. Thank you most sincerely to all the lotto players, ticket sellers, etc., your support is greatly appreciate­d in these difficult times. Remember that any profits made on sale of lotto tickets goes towards the upkeep of the facilities. As you can all see works are ongoing at improving the community sports field.

CONDOLENCE­S

The club would like to offer their sympathies to the family of the late Bill O’Connell. Bill was a great servant to the club over his lifetime. From being secretary of the football club in 1960 to being part of the North Cork winning football team in 1966. He was a distinguis­hed umpire and was involved in many a great game. And in 2014 he was awarded the club person of the year. He was always an avid supporter of everything Ballyhooly and his family continues to play a very active role in the club today.

The club would also like to extend our sympathy to Colm Finnan and family on the passing of his father Patrick. As well as being one of our underage team managers, Colm is also our juvenile club coaching co-ordinator. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis.
