Monaleen GAA Club Notes

October 05, 2015

LOTTO:   The jackpot currently stands at €17,800.  There was no winner of last week's jackpot of €17,500 which was drawn on 01/10/2015. The numbers drawn were 12, 18, 21 and 24. Lucky dip winners were T Beary, D Cox, M Long and M Hayes. Tickets can be purchased on a weekly basis from local shops and pubs.

Jogging Club.  A member has approached us with the idea of starting a jogging club for adults whereby joggers of all abilities could come together and meet as a group and then subdivide into little groups according to abilities/goals/availabilities so that people could find jogging buddies that match their own needs. The immediate goal being to keep fit for the winter, with a spring goal of the  Monaleen Cancer Support Group 5/10k and the Great Limerick run.
