of €100,000 will commence on the weekend of February 27 th /28 th with two draws. One major change

to this draw is that entries will close on March 24 th. Patrons who are on direct debit in the old Gaa

clubs draw will automatically transfer over to the new draw and those who pay yearly we will be in

contact shortly to collect same. The new format will run from January to December with an all cash

prized fund of over €500,000. For less than two Euro a week not a bad investment considering the

potential return. Tickets are available from club officers.

2016 Minor Double

November 2016 will be remembered as the year that Mitchelstown minors completed a famous

county double when they defeated Kilmurry by the narrowest of margins in Blarney on the last

weekend of November. Earlier in the year on the 27th of September a day in which Mick Burke a

great club supporter sadly went to his eternal rest they proved too strong for Mallow at a wet

and damp Pairc Ui Rinn. This writer will always remember the league final as in one of the best

games of football I have witnessed. The teams were level on four occasions in the opening quarter

and the fielding of Sean Walsh particularly stood out. Kilmurry led by a point at the short whistle

after a Cathal O Mahony point reduced the lead. Kilmurry dominated the second half 

and went in to a three point lead after both sides squandered numerous chances. The master

move which saw Mark Keane move to full forward and Dylan Reidy Price to the forty which saw

Price return 1-1 to put Mitchelstown in the lead entering the closing stages. Both teams exchanged

points but Town held out for a 1-09 to 0-11 victory.

Team MITCHELSTOWN: C O'Sullivan, K Fox, L Finn, T Finn, G Pendle, K Roche, D Farrelly, S Walsh 0-

2f, M Keane 0-1, C O'Mahony 0-2, S O'Sullivan 0-1, P O'Gorman, B White 0-1, D Reidy-Price 1-2, A

Donegan Sub: M Dawson for P O'Gorman.
