Monaghan Harps Lotto: The numbers for last Sunday’s draw were 5, 9, 18 and 30. Jackpot of €1,200 not won. This week’s four €40 lucky-dip prize winners were: Brendan Duffy (Rockcorry) c/o Séamus Treanor; John McClave c/o himself; Sinéad & Adrian Toal c/o Jimmy Croarkin; and Tiarnan McKenna c/o Maria McKenna. The sellers’ prize of €20 was won by Fiona Sherry. Jackpot for Sunday, October 25 is €1,300. Thanks to everyone for continuing to support our Lotto and to the committee and the regular helpers for their efforts in keeping the show on the road and providing essential funding towards our development work over the last three decades. We would greatly appreciate if every family involved in the club would consider setting up a recurring Lotto entry via ClubZap. Please note that the cut-off point for ClubZap each week is 6pm on Sunday.

 

Open night: We enjoyed a great club night last Saturday to celebrate the fantastic improvements to our facilities. After gathering in the newly refurbished car park, a good crowd of club members of all ages took part in a 3k Family Fun Run along the greenway. The highlight of the evening saw everyone make their way onto the pitch for the big switch-on of our new floodlights, with our enthusiastic juveniles leading the big countdown. We were honoured to be joined by several of our former players from the 1970 senior team, who cut the ribbon to officially start our run and were later presented with tokens of appreciation for their service to the club. Thanks to everyone who ran or walked, to our stewards, to the musicians who entertained the crowd in the clubhouse and to the club committee for organising the night to showcase the development of our facilities, supported by the success of our December 2025 Film Awards night.

 

AGM: Our AGM is scheduled for Thursday, November 12. Club members are asked to return nomination forms to our secretary Claire by Wednesday, October 28.
