BALLINDERRY SPORTSFIELD FUNDRAISING DRAW
Ballinderry Sportsfield held its confined draw in the Pavilion on Saturday July 30th. First prize of €3000 was won by Breda O’Meara’s chemist. Prizes of €500 were won by Jessica Moran, Patrick F. Treacy, James O’Meara and Sean and Jer Hogan. The field committee would like to congratulate the winners and to thank everyone who bought a ticket and all of our sellers who put in sterling work. The excellent support that we receive ensures that all 250 tickets were sold. This generosity has put us in a position to clear our loan and return the facilities to the community debt free.
