The Minor Club is running a Fundraising Draw, and in a new
twist this year, it is a double draw. Draw One consists bales of
briquettes as prizes, while Draw Two is the Annual Grand National
Sweepstakes Draw. Tickets enter you in both draws and cost Eu10. We
would ask everyone in both Ballymahon and Forgney to support this
venture. The draw will take place on Friday 9th April 2010 in Paddy's
at 10.00pm. Ballymahon/Forgney Gaels are running a Gaelic Football
Activity Camp over Easter for all underage children. This will run on
Wednesday and Thursday the 7th/8th April next. To register at a cost

Finally, the Club wishes to extend its sympathy to the Killian family, Newtowncashel on their recent bereavement, and also hard luck to the Convent, who were defeated in the All Ireland Semi Final last Saturday, but who made history in getting that far, by being the first school ever from Longford to win the Leinster A title.
