Given the financial hardships faced by all clubs over the past year; it is humbling to see the support and backing our club has received since launching our fundraiser.

Naomh Conaill
It is with great sadness that we lost one of our own Michael Jack O Donnell last Saturday evening.
A life-long and passionate Naomh Conaill man and a proud Donegal man. Michael was a former player and club officer having served as secretary and PRO. Michael was a brilliant photographer and was a well know face at every Gaa ground in the county and further afield. Since Michael passed the one word used most to describe him was that he was a pure gentleman and he will be sadly missed by everyone. We extend our sympathies to Bernie & family and to his mother Nora, brothers,John ,Dessie, Gerard, Brendan and sisters Ita, Mary, Theresa, Siobhan and all the extended family.
Naomh Conaill Lotto
There was no winner of last week's lotto.The numbers drawn were 4,6,8,24. Two prizes of €50 went to
John E Gallagher, Church Road and Celine Furey, Coolboy, Letterkenny. The jackpot now stands at €7,400. Lotto will be sold on the bridge as usual this Friday.

Pat is very proud of his Donegal links, and has immersed himself in Carlow GAA. He is a former county secretary, a former secretary of Coiste na nÓg, a former chairman of Carlow camogie and past president of Carlow GAA. Pat has given a lifetime of service to the promotion of our national games, as a player, mentor and administrator. If ever anyone was deserving of our support, Pat surely is. To sponsor Pat head along to clubcarlow.ie.

It is particularly aimed at Covid supervisors and officers, players, team personnel, and the parents and guardians of underage players. However, anyone present at training sessions or games should complete it to gain an understanding of the Safe Return Guidelines.

Lotto
There was no winner of last weeks lotto jackpot of €1950. Sequence drawn was 4-7-6-8-5-1-3-2. The winner of the €50 consolation prize was Andy Mc Gonagle, Carrowmore, who purchased his entry online. Next weeks jackpot stands at €2000. As always we would like to thank the local community for their continued support of our weekly lotto draw. Envelopes are just €2 or 3 for €5 euro and are available in the following retail outlets, Boggs Butchers, McCleans Shop, Malin and Seaview Stores, Malin Head and also from our band of young eager sellers.
Due to the challenges we are currently facing the club decided to move with the times and take the lotto online. So now any of our club supporters who don't get a visit from a local lotto seller can play the Club lotto from their phone or laptop.
Here's the link to play https://play.clubforce.com/play_newa.asp?ll_id=2504#Anchor
To get the best value we recommend playing 3 lines in one week for €5; however, you can still play 1 or two lines. Don't forget to select auto renew at checkout. This means the app will automatically enter you for each draw.
Finally a special word of thanks to the Club Lotto Sellers & all those who bought lottos and those who continue to support the Club.
