Lotto Results... Tuesday, May 06, 2008![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jackpot not won - New total £3,000 £15 winners - E McCann & £10 - D Johnston Seniors Left Matchless AgainFor the second time in recent weeks our Seniors were deprived of much needed match action as this time Gort na Mona seconds failed to field. No doubt the points will be awarded to the home team meaning we now have maximum points from four matches - however the lack of action does not really satisfy management and players.

First up the Juniors easily seen of a youthful Glenravel Junior team - winning by 3 - 9 to 0 - 3. Next up our Seniors recorded an equally comfortable 2 - 13 to 0 - 7 victory over McDermotts. More Go Games Success As Ballymena VisitOur youngest footballers welcomed Aldergrove Go Games newcomers All Saints on Sunday. The Aldergrove footballers carried on from their good form of last week and managed to outscore the Ballymena kids in 3 of the 4 games. A very enjoyable day was had by all players and the skill levels continue to improve. The reaction from the visitors was very positive towards the whole Go Games concept. Glenravel Get Better Of 12's and 14'sOur 12's and 14's travelled to Glenravel on Friday - and both returned empty handed. The 12's were beaten convincingly and the 14's narrowly lost out by one point. Next up is away to Ballycastle. CCC Confirm O'Donnells Game As A DrawThe CCC have confirmed that the home Senior Reserve Div 5 game as a draw. Controversy occured at the time as everyone present had Aldergrove as 2 point winners - however the ref had it as a draw and unsurprisingly despite club protestations CCC have backed the official. ** Important ** Last Date For RegistrationThe committee have had to extend the final date for registration to Friday 16th May 2008.

The 12's bounced back superbly from last weeks heavy defeat against St Pat's - winning 1.0 to 1.5 The 14's continued their fine form of last season as they made it back to back victories for them with a comfortable 1.9 to 3.8 victory.
