Lanesboro Ballyleague Notes
Last Chance to be in for €3000
The closing date for the Rathcline GAA club Christmas Draw is coming fast upon us. The club urge your full support for the draw as it is a major source of income especially going into the start of the new football season where affiliation and insurance have to be met. Your support will help ease this burden and help the club continue to develop their magnificent new clubhouse and pitch in Clonbonny. The club is also working on a new training area which will further enhance the facilities in Clonbonny. The club is the pride of the Rathcline community and it is only through your great support the present facilities are there for all the members. I urge your support for the draw on this Saturday night 8th January. Tickets can be bought in O’Brien’s or from any club executive. The first prize is €3,000 and there are a further nine prizes to be won. Be supportive of your club.
