Well done to all who braved the elements and marched representing the club in the Clonmellon St. Patricks Day Parade.

 

Club Lotto

Please support our Club Lotto as this supports the day to day costs of running the club. Club lotto envelopes can be got from any of the local shops and pubs, at Bingo on Monday nights or from any of the committee members. The Lotto draw takes place every Monday night during bingo in the local Community Centre. The Cost is €2 a ticket. Currently the Jackpot stands at €2,180. There was no winner of last week's Jackpot. €20 Euro winners on the night were Bridget Carr, Alaquoe Cassidy and Marie Gilmore - well done to all.

 

Last Man Standing

With wins for Monaghan at home to Roscommon and Galway at home to Derry in round 5 of the league last weekend, all three of our survivors move on to round 6. The best of luck to our last three survivors Aine Weir, Gary Gilsenan and Mary Staunton in round 6.

 

Cash for Clobber

Planning on getting around to doing that Spring cleaning you've been planning? Want to free up some valuable closet space? Well St. Pauls are here to help. Get rid of all that unwanted clobber you have around the house such as clothes, shoes, towels, curtains and bed linen. Bag it all in refuse sacks and bring it down to the club grounds during our Easter Camp on April 11th & 12th and April 18th & 19th from 10 am to 12 noon or anyFriday night from 8pm to 9pm where we will convert it into some much needed funds for the club.

 

Underage Amalgamations

There are some changes in place for the year ahead with regards to our underage teams. St. Pauls have teamed up with neighbouring clubs Delvin and Ballycomoyle at U-16 and Minor level and will be collectively known as Northern Gaels. Home games and training for Northern Gaels will be rotated between the three clubs and each parent club will have representation on the coaching teams. At U-14 we are joined with Delvin under the banner of Northern Gaels St. Pauls-Delvin and for U-12, U-10 and U-8 we will be fielding on our own as St. Pauls. Training has already started for our Minor, U-16 and U-14 teams and the rest will be kicking off over the next few weeks, please keep an eye on our Facebook page for details.
