50s Club: September Winners

Our September 50s Club was drawn on Saturday and we have three new lucky winners who can enjoy spending their share of the prize money. 64 numbers entered the random draw but only three could be winners.

Members were previously randomly allocated a number by an electronic system before the draw in August and new comers were allocated the next free number on the list.

The draw took place at The Millbridge following the Swifts match vs Celtic Bhoys and when the Firsts returned from their away game vs Bangor Amateurs.

Weâ€™d like to thank every member who has entered our 50s Club so far and would encourage everyone to join in the fun and for a chance to win.

Our next draw is scheduled to take place on the last Saturday in October! Make sure youâ€™ve registered to be in with a chance of winning.

The lucky winners for September are:

50s Club: August Winners

Our August 50s Club has been drawn and we have three lucky winners who can enjoy spending their part of the Â£400 prize money. Our first month saw 58 numbers entered into the random draw.

Members were randomly allocated a number by an electronic system before the draw.

The draw took place after our match away to Aquinas FC in Rathmore Grammar School changing rooms on 31 August. First team forward, Aaron Gilmartin, picked the three winning numbers at random out of the bag.

BUFC Notes

On Saturday the club hosted local rivals Olympic in the first league match of the season. There was an excellent crowd at the game and the committee members present did an outstanding job with car parking, providing food and the other tasks that are vital to the efficient running of the club facilities on a big match day.

The seconds entertained Killyleagh YC 2nds on Friday night past and while they lost 3-0 to an experienced side it was nevertheless an encouraging performance. Next up for the 2nds is a friendly against Drumaness Mills 2nds tonight (Thursday 13th Aug) with a kick-off at 7pm.

Club members and players are reminded that membership fees should be paid to Gareth Bingham as soon as possible.
