Mum's the word for Margaret with Sports Bond jackpot win

This week Andrew created a bit of Sports Bond history with a back to back 1000 Jackpot win.

This time there was a bigger rejoicing in the Boyd household as the 1000 Jackpot winner was his mum, Margaret Boyd.

Margaret has been a member on Andrew’s agency since Sports Bond’s beginning and her Jackpot numbers have always been 1, 5, 12 and 16. Margaret also helps Andrew with the agency as he now lives in Ballyclare, so congratulations to Margaret and to Andrew who also picks up another 100 bonus as a Jackpot winning agent.

FIRST SCORE

At Mourneview, the holder of the 14 minute ticket was Rodney McLaughlin. Rodney, also known as Raj to his friends, now matches his father Bobby as a winner this season.

In the Carling Cup first score the winning ticket was 5 minutes. So far only David Armstrong had the ticket, sold by brother Alan. As you are aware the 5 minute Carling score was a penalty that took some time to take. Brother Alan had a fourth minute ticket!!A real case of brotherly love.

GRAND SPORTS DRAW

“The best promotion I have ever put together” claims promoter Brian Thompson.

So when one thinks of the year’s promotions put together by this individual and this is the claim you must take notice.

This year’s Easter Sports Draw will take place on April 3 and the theme could be ‘Off to the Races’.

This year sees the first prize of a trip for two to one of the world’s greatest sporting events, the Aintree Grand National. We had the same prize two years ago and it was a marvellous prize.

A very unique and new prize this year is a VIP hospitality night out at the very successful Drumbo Greyhound Stadium. We are indebted to Mr John McCallum of Drumbo in sponsoring this wonderful prize stated Brian.

In third place how about the ‘need for speed’ with a trip to Raceview Karting. All your old favourites are there including a wonderful trip to the Odyssey to see the legendary Haarlem Globetrotters.

As before only a limited number of tickets priced at 2 are on sale. Make sure you support the club and get yours.
