St. Patricks GAA Club 2017 version of our Last Man Standing fundraising competition for our club. Hard luck to those of you who fell this week. The big faller this week was Kerry who were defeated at home by Monaghan. We lost 27 people as a result, other losing selections were Dublin, who drew with Donegal, and Meath, who lost to Derry. In total we lost 31 people this week.
Tyrone's match with Cavan was postponed. As per rules of the competition anyone who chose Tyrone is through to Week 4 but cannot choose Tyrone again.
We have 44 people left in the competition going into Week 4. Please get your selection in on or before Friday 3 March. Remember you cannot pick a team you have already chosen and if you picked a Division 1 team in Week 3 you must pick a Division 2 team in Week 4 (and vice versa).
We had no jackpot winners in our Club Lotto this week! Numbers drawn were 5, 17, 27, and 28. The bonus number was 13.
We had no Match three winners.
