GAA Lotto.
The numbers drawn in the latest lotto draw were 8, 11, 16 and 28 and there was no winner of the jackpot. The three lucky dip winners of €50 each were Liz Lyons, Michelle Dunphy and Joyce Power. The next draw will take place on Sunday December 8th and will have a fantastic jackpot of €12,500 up for grabs.

Called Up.
Huge congratulations to Emma Kelly, Ardeenlone who has been selected for the U16 Waterford ladies football squad. This has been a dream of Emmas for many years and through hard work and determination Emma proved that dreams can come true. Last year Emma acted as water girl for this team and this year she will take to the field of play with the team. Ballyduff girls football teams have been going from strength to strength in the past year with more county potentials coming up through the ages. The club are extremely proud of Emma and will be following her with great interest but of course there are none more proud than her parents Mick and Judy and her younger brother Jack. We wish Emma every success but most of all we hope that she enjoys every minute of it. Deise Abu!
