Drawn numbers were 3, 12, and 15 with 24 being the bonus number.

Our next Lotto draw is on Friday February 10th in O’ Shea’s Bar, Milltown.

Lotto Jackpot is now €13,400. A match 3 will give you a win or share in €300.

There are also 6 wonderful consolation prizes. Head out now and buy your lucky lotto ticket.

The money raised from our lotto fundraiser has recently been used to purchase new training materials and footballs for all our under age teams -who are now well established in their indoor training.

Thank you to each and every person who continues to support our Lotto.

Club registration is now due.

Under 6’s are free.

Juvenile/student and OAP are €30.

An adult is €50, couples are €80 and family membership is €100.

As you will agree, these are fantastic rates- for the juvenile/student/OAP – it works out at 58 cent per week, while a family membership (up to 2 adults and 4 children) works out at just under €2 per week.

Certainly great value for money!

Email addresses:

We are in the process of updating our contact details, which includes e mail addresses. If you have new contact details, you can private message me (Deirdre O’ Sullivan) on my Facebook Page with new details. Some emails are coming back with an un-delivered status.

REVISED DRESSING ROOM/ SIDE LINE GUIDE LINES:
Please note that under age players are NOT permitted inside the dressing rooms prior to or after a SENIOR game or inside the surrounding fence wire when a senior game is ongoing.

This is to protect all parties involved. We ask parents and guardians to continually remind their children of this rule which will be strictly enforced. We appreciate your on- going support and cooperation.

Appropriate Football Gear:

Can all underage team managers, trainers/coaches please ensure that all players representing Milltown /Castlemaine are dressed in club colours (Green and White socks and togs.)   This is to avoid any inconvenience prior to games.

We would also ask parents/guardians of players to inform their children of this County Board Rule.
