Club News 28.08.18 2nd Annual Golf Classic

Mitchelstown Rugby Club

2nd Annual golf classic

Our second annual golf classic took place last Friday, with forty-eight teams entered. Congratulations to Edward Horgan for his amazing efforts to achieve such a high entry and terrific sponsorship. Pat Kavanagh was the competition manager and ensured that the tournament ran smoothly. Hearty congratulations to Park United whose team outshone the rest to place first.

As with last year, the cold plate meal was organized by Paul and Edward Horgan, and was the target of much praise. Thanks too to Martin, Lisa, Marie, Kathleen, and Josh, for being there to keep the refreshments flowing, and to the members of the Josiah Stone band who were excellent as always.

Our thanks to Mitchelstown Golf Club members and staff who gave every assistance to make the day a memorable one.


€ 16,200 LOTTO next Sunday

Congratulations to all our Limerick members for bridging a forty five year gap by winning the senior All Ireland hurling title, and our Tipperary members for their under 21 victory on Sunday

No lottery winner last Sunday week in the Walsh’s lounge, where we concluded the draw on Sunday night. The numbers drawn were 1, 3, 13, and 22. There was no jackpot winner.

Many thanks to all the staff of Roches for facilitating last week’s draw, and for the sustaining coffee. Lucky dip winners: Clare and Billy - €50, Martin Sheehan - €50, Anthony Caplice - €25, David McMahon - €25

The next draw will be Sunday, 2nd September, in Supermac’s which is famous for its great selection of food, fast service, and Tim Luddy’s smile.

The new jackpot will be €16,200 for a single winner, the highest it has ever been, or shared if more than one winner.

Entry is only €2 per pick of 4 numbers or 3 tickets for €5.

Remember, the odds of getting 4 numbers in our lottery is very close to the same as getting 4 numbers in the national lottery, but our prize is far bigger, over 250 times bigger in fact.

Annual tickets are available at €50 for 26 draws, with a bonus draw only for annuals. Contact Owen on 087-8112991 for annual tickets, or any other committee member. Rugby Club Lotto is now also available to play on line at www.mitchelstownrugby.com
