We would like to say a big thank you to our sponsors who have made this draw possible. Supporters are reminded that all officers and players of the Club will be selling these tickets in the forthcoming weeks. WEEKEND FIXTURES I'm sure I don't need to inform anyone of this weekend's main fixture. The County Final takes centre stage at 3pm in Pairc Sean. SENIOR SEMI-FINAL A big well done to the lads on their victory over Carrick in Pairc Sean on Sunday. In the first half it was looking like it was going to be Carrick's day, but a bit of self belief was instilled on the team at half time and they refused to give up in the second half. With help from the sub's bench the game turned in our favour and a last minute goal by Gary Hickey rescued the day. Final Score: Glencar/Manorhamilton 2-8, St. Mary's 1-09. Well done to all concerned. COUNTY FINAL COUNTDOWN I would ask all the local business to put up their flags and help us to get the town decorated for the County Final. Most clubs have two weeks to prepare for a County Final but because our semi-final was delayed we only have a few days. The lads need everyone's support in the build up to the game. This is the biggest game the Club has had in nearly ten years so your support and help to get ready for the big day would be appreciated. Club Car Flags with Club name and Chequered Flags and various different bit and pieces will be on sale in the Creamery and the funds from these will go straight back into the Club. COUNTY FINAL From everyone in the Club and surrounding areas we wish all the team the very very best of luck as they prepare for Sunday. A huge crowd travelled from Manorhamilton and the surrounding areas to watch the semi-final and I have no doubt the blue and amber will be well represented at the County Final. INTERMEDIATE FINAL We would like to wish our neighbours in Drumkeerin GFC the very best of luck as they prepare for this years Intermediate Championship Final which takes place on Saturday. CLUB LOTTO There was no winner of the Clubs lotto draw held in the Market Bar. The five consolation prises were won by Jim Forde, Larkfield, Kieran McGriskan, Ross, Kevin Kerrigan, McDermott Tce., John and Joan Lynch, Glencar, Geraldine McLoughlin, Glenfarne. The Jackpot now stands at an amazing ?13,590 and as usual tickets can be bought in various outlets throughout the town.
