Our annual 50/50 Charity draw takes place tomorrow Monday 28th with this year's chosen charity, North West Hospice. Last year we raised €1,470 and it would be great to match and exceed that number. Get your ticket now before the cut off time of 6PM Monday on www.lottoraiser.ie/shamrockgaels/ 

The club wish to extend best wishes to Sergeant Terese Duignan who retired last week after 18 years service in Riverstown and thank her for all the support to the Club over her time in Riverstown. We also wish Fr Yashin the best of luck as he takes up a new role in Roscommon and we welcome Fr Declan Boyce to the parish.
