Monaghan Harps Lotto: The numbers for last Sunday's draw were 11, 12, 13 and 18. Jackpot of €1,900 not won. The four €40 lucky-dip prize winners were: Melissa McGorman c/o Clubhouse; Hugh McCague c/o Séamus Treanor; Richard McCaughey (direct debit); and Eileen Morgan c/o herself. The sellers' prize of €20 was won by Paddy Donnelly. Jackpot for Sunday, June 12 is €2,000. Thanks to everyone for their continued support for our lotto, which plays an integral part for the club. Please note that the cut-off point for ClubZap each week is 6pm on Sunday.
Pitch development: We are very happy to announce that the work has begun, but in order to secure funding to complete additional works at Rooskey, we need people to subscribe to the monthly option for our lotto. This can be done by going into ClubZap, selecting club shop, play lotto online and finally selecting the €20 per month option. This will be a huge support to securing additional funding from Croke Park. I am aware that we all purchase weekly and at games etc., but it is the regular subscriptions that are needed as evidence of regular money coming into the club. Thanks in advance, Rose Donnelly 0860825782.
Golf Classic: The countdown is on for our Golf Classic at Rossmore Golf Club tomorrow (Friday, June 10). Thanks to our main sponsors – Amatino, Brix Workwear and Séamus Morgan Nissan – and to all tee and green sponsors and participants.

Reserves: We drew away to Latton in the RFL Division 1A on Tuesday. In wintry conditions, we played with the wind at our backs in the first half. Despite gaining a foothold at midfield and creating several goal chances, we took some time to make it count on the scoreboard, although points by Dean Doherty, Shea Swift, Luke McManus, Tiarnán O'Rourke and Evan Doherty moved us ahead, before Conor Callan converted a penalty. We led by six points at one stage, but Latton reduced it to four (1-7 to 0-6) by half-time, before cutting the gap further at the start of the second half. Points by Liam Conway and Luke kept us narrowly ahead and although a second goal for Latton levelled it up late on, Luke replied with an excellent point, only for the hosts to respond once again to earn a share of the spoils on a scoreline of 1-13 to 2-10.
Team and scorers: Conor Callan (1-0, pen); Oisín Fagan, Jake McConnon, Gary Devlin; Nathan Lavery, Liam Conway (0-1), Niall Hahessy; Tiarnán O'Rourke (0-1), Lochlainn Power; Shea Swift (0-1), Dean Doherty (0-2), James McKenny; Luke McManus (0-5, 1f), Evan Doherty (0-3f), Niall Greenan (Capt.).
We host Clontibret in the penultimate round next Tuesday.
