Registration:
There are still some outstanding memberships for this season. Can all players ensure they are paid up as soon as possible? Membership can be given to any team manager.
Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI
Karl McQuaid has been running a campaign to get as many people as possible to be blood stem donors.
He is doing this in memory of his friend Gavin McNaney who passed away in November 2017 after a hard fought battle with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
We are delighted that members of Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI will visit the Rangers hall on Saturday 17th August from 10am – 1pm.
Anyone aged from 18-55 are eligible for a swab test. A swab test which is a very simple procedure is taken from the inside of your cheek (only takes a couple of minutes).
The results of the swab test will then be registered on the donor database.
If you are a match for someone anywhere in the world who has a blood cancer, you will be asked to donate your stem cells in a pain free procedure which may save their life.
Everyone welcome in the community and beyond to come along on Saturday morning to this important event which could bring hope to someone who desperately needs it.
Juvenile Draw
Our underage players and committee members are now selling the juvenile draw tickets. There are some fantastic prizes on offer including your chance to win two All Ireland football tickets & €250.
Tickets cost £2/€2 or 3 for £5/€5.
All proceeds from the draw will go directly to the underage teams in the club.
The draw will take place on Monday, 26th August during the interval at the bingo.
