Club Lotto:- Last Monday nights draw (22nd June) which was hosted by Dunphy's Bar, produced no winner of the jackpot worth €10,000. We did have 3 X match 3's as Maureen Kirwan (pub), Tommy Hennessy Ballyvoholane and Brian Mooney, Knockane all had 3 numbers. The numbers drawn were 4, 8, 19 and 30. All 3 will receive €25 each. Meanwhile, the back-up jackpot continues to grow towards the 2K mark. However, the draw next week will still be for the €10,000. If you are not in, you can't win! Remember its only €2 a ticket or 3 for €5.

Intermediate Football:- By the time you read these notes we will be preparing ourselves for Kilmac in the first round of the championship which takes place this Tuesday, 30th June in Carrickbeg at 8pm. Full report next week, hopefully on a victory!

John J. Murphy Junior Football Championship:- Our junior footballers still remain on the 5 point mark after suffering their second defeat in this years championship last Friday night, 26th June, against De La Salle in their grounds in Gracedieu. A poor opening 10 minutes when playing with the wind and hill was to cost us dearly and even though we led by a point at the break we needed a bigger interval lead.
Despite the slow start we got into stride and with Ciaran Kirwan leading the way, we had closed the gap, when good work by David Casey saw Paudie Torpey palm the ball to the net. Corey Kennedy kicked two fine points with David Gooney also aiding our half-time tally of 1-7. Three excellent points from play by Ciaran helped cancel out a goal from D.L.S on the resumption, but we were reduced to 14 men and when we conceded a sloppy goal we found ourselves very much on the back foot and the arrears were increased to 5 points. But a trademark of our performances to date has been to keep going until the final whistle and this was evident again, except this time the clock beat us. By that time we had reduced the gap to 3 with fine points from Paudie and Nano Whelan, but it wasn't enough. Final score Kill 1-12 DLS 3-9. The team was:- Michael Mooney, Jim Murphy, Niall Flynn, Ritchie Cullinane, Donal Kelly, Brian Flynn, Peter Kelly, Corey Kennedy, Oisin Queally, Colm Casey, Davy Gooney, Ger Mooney, Paudie Torpey, Ciaran Kirwan, David Casey. Subs used: Nano Whelan,Ollie St. John, Anthony Raher, Jack Power.
We have 2 games remaining against Roanmore and Bunmahon with one win required to make the knockout stages for sure. Our next game is the end of July as hurling takes over for the next 3 weeks.

Deise Draw:- No luck again in Ballymac last Friday night, 26th June, as the top prize went in the city direction. We are halfway through this years draw with the next one in Kilgobnet on Friday 31st July. Hopefully our luck can change.
