Magheracloone G.A.A.
Lotto . The Lotto draw for the week ending 30th April saw the following numbers being drawn…..9, 16, 18 and 24. The jackpot was not won and four players won fifty euro each in the Lucky Dip. The winners were Declan Rudden, Moylough, Adrienne Meegan, Mullantoran, Oran Cashell, c/o Cashells and Fintan Kellett, Crumlin.
The next draw will be held on the 7th May in the clubrooms.
Senior League. The Senior League continued last week-end with a visit to Castleblayney. The game was played in Crossmaglen and Magheracloone came away with two valuable league points. This year’s league competition is proving to be a very tight affair with all teams taking points from each other. The two points gained by Magheracloone may prove to be vital by the end of the season as the top four places are decided.
Magheracloone faces two home games in the next ten days with visits from Clontibret and Monaghan Harps. The team will be hoping to gain some more league points to consolidate their position in the group.
Reserves. It is championship time for the Reserve Team on this Friday evening when the first round of the O Duffy Cup takes place. Magheracloone will host Ballybay and the throw-in is timed for 7. 15. The team would appreciate all your support.
Cumann na mBunscoil. Well done to the boys of Scoil Bhride, Mullaghrafferty who won the county Mini Sevens title on Friday last. They defeated Ballybay, Corracrin and Killeevan in the group stages to set up a final, clash with Edenmore. The first half was close but the Scoil Bhride team pulled away in the second to win on a scoreline of 3-4 to 1-2.
Team captain, Aidan Carolan, was presented with the trophy amid scenes of great jubilation.

U-16 Competition. The U-16 team competition is up and running and Magheracloone faced Aughnamullen on Thursday last.
