Pigeon House Lotto
The Kildangan GAA Pigeon House Lotto draw plays a huge part in the fundraising efforts of your local club, and gives you the chance to win a massive €10,000!

Here's how it works: any four numbers from 1 to 28 are selected, and if you match these four numbers, you have won. If there is no jackpot winner in our weekly draw, there will five 'Lucky Dip' prizes of €30 each. There have been two Jackpot winning club members in recent years, and we also have multiple 'Lucky Dip' winners every week. The results are posted on our website weekly.

Tickets are only €2 and are available from committee members. For direct debit forms, contact our club secretary Michael Higgins: [email protected].

Our senior footballers started off Division 3A of the Reserve League with a 6-9 to 1-8 victory over Milltown on Monday, 9th April. The team face Kilcullen at home next Monday (23rd April) at 7.00pm. The full list of fixtures is available on our website and in businesses around the village.

If you're looking to try out something new this year, why not consider Gaelic football? This is a great way to keep fit and get to know people, and new players are always welcome to join the team.
