SHANNON RANGERS FC
Shannon Rangers continued winning ways last Sunday in Ballymackey with a 3-2 victory, we went ahead through a Josh McKenna penalty, then Darragh Haugh bagged the second. Barry Cahalan knocked in the third after half time from a Ray Burke free kick, but the home team got back into it with two goals but Rangers held on to stay top at Christmas. The u/16’s had no game at the weekend and the u/13’s played a worthwhile friendly between themselves.
Don’t forget our St. Stephen’s Day friendly game New Rangers v Old Rangers at 2pm followed by “Ted Fest” at 5pm in Elsie’s music with king ‘Karoke on the night with a ‘Luvly Ladies’ competition, come along and join the fun.

COMMUNITY ALERT
Can we all continue to keep an eye on our elderly neighbours during the cold weather and enquire if there is anything they need.
The ‘Tip of the Week’ is again on Fire Prevention- most fires start in the kitchen so ensure you keep an extinguisher or fire blanket handy. Keep cookers clean, grease is dangerous, always place pot handles inward.
Make sure your Christmas tree lights have a safe socket connection. Be watchful at all times of lit candles and keep out of the reach of children.
