All Ireland Football Final Ticket Draw
We will be holding a lottery to give adult club members the chance to buy an All-Ireland football final ticket tomorrow (Wednesday) evening. If you would like to be in with a chance, please contact our secretary Michael Higgins on 086 3585580 as soon as possible. All terms and conditions for this can be found on the 'About Us' section of our website. Tickets must be paid in full on collection. 

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.

Our current jackpot stands at €10,000, so why not give it a go? Tickets are only €2 and are available from committee members. For direct debit forms, contact our club secretary Michael Higgins: [email protected].

Club Merchandise
Do you want to show off your club colours? We have set up an online club shop in association with O'Neills so now you can order all sorts of club wear and get it delivered to your door anywhere in the world. All items come with the club crest and you can also add your initials for a further €2.50. To see the full range, visit http://tinyurl.com/ONeillsKildangan

Abbey Rangers
Our under 16s defeated Carbury to claim the championship shield title last Friday evening in Hawkfield. Rangers started brightly, but their opponents came right back into it to trail by only three points at half time, the score 2-7 to 1-8. The west Kildare club came very close to scoring a goal at the end of the game, but this threat was cleared to seal the victory. A full report of the game can be found on our website. 

Our minors suffered a very narrow defeat to Grangenolvin last Monday week in the quarter final of the championship, only two points the difference. 

The Ballykelly and Kildangan amalgamation still have two competitions left to play, with under 15s and under 21s fixtures due out in the coming weeks. 

Juvenile Football
Our under 13s suffered a narrow defeat to St. Kevin's last Wednesday evening in round four of the all county league, but have given a great account of themselves to date with wins over Confey and Allenwood. We have a bye this weekend. Our next fixture takes place on Sunday, 17th September at home to Ballykelly. Throw-in is at 10.30am. 

Our under 9s and our under 11s are also in flying form, having faced Grangenolvin and Round Towers respectively. The under 9s have a bye this evening, while the under 11s travel to Ellistown on Thursday. Throw-in is at 7.00pm. 

Training for our under 6 to under 12 players takes place every Friday between 7.00pm and 8.00pm in More O'Ferrall Park. For more information on our club's juvenile section, contact John Reilly on 087-6173964.
