NATIONAL DRAW WINNERS
The club were delighted to learn that they were one of the winners in National Club Draw. The National Club Draw is run by Croke Park each year with prizes being put up by Central Council with 100% of funds raised going directly to the club. The club sold tickets for this draw in January and had good support.
The draw took place in HQ on Thursday last and while we had no individual winner the club won €1,000 in the club specific draw which is a welcome bonus. Thanks to everyone who bought a ticket and supported the draw. Thanks to Eamon Phelan in the Limerick office for assisting also.
