DÉISE DRAW:
Not too long to go folks for the Super Déise Draw which takes place on Wednesday May 30th, and like last year, there will be six draws over the six months. There are 22 cash prizes up for grabs with the top prize a nice €12,500, 2nd prize €3,000, 3rd/4th prize €1,000, 5th-7th prize €500, 8th - 22nd prize €200. This is the clubs main source of income, with 70% been retained by the club, and we would encourage all players, supporters, members, to buy a Déise Draw ticket, and keep Gaelic games alive in the Parish.
