Sligo’s opening Connacht senior football championship match in New York on Sunday, May 7th, 2017, will be a special occasion for our club captain Neil Ewing, as he is set to let his county out on championship Sunday for the first time.
To mark this special landmark, Drumcliffe/Rosses Point GAA Club is running a ‘Championship Score Forecast’ competition with a €100 voucher from Davis’s Restaurant to be won.
Entering couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is correctly predict the scoreline (at the end of normal time) in Gaelic Park on May 7th.
It costs €2 per entry or a card of six entries costs just €10.
Score forecast cards are being distributed to club members from this weekend. They are also available from Michael Kilcoyne (0876755763) or Austin O’Callaghan (0876855621).
The full competition rules are listed below.
The deadline for return of completed cards will be Saturday, May 6th, at 1pm.
For more info, contact Michael Kilcoyne on 0876755763 or Austin O’Callaghan on 0876855621.
Good luck!
Competition Rules
(For the purposes of the explanation below, we are using a sample scoreline of New York 1-13 Sligo 1-15)
- The Championship Score Forecast competition applies to the result of the New York v Sligo match at the end of normal time (70 minutes plus added time). It does not include extra-time.
- If there is no correct exact score eg: New York 1-13 Sligo 1-15, the winner will be the closest score chosen as follows: The exact total aggregate points for each team eg: New York 16 points Sligo 18 points or any other such combination such as New York 3-7 Sligo 0-18. If there is more than one such score, the winner will be chosen by lot. If there is no correct answer, the winner will be the closest score chosen as follows in Rule 3:
- The exact winning margin ie: two point win for Sligo in the above example – New York 1-13 Sligo 1.15. Or, any other scoreline with a two-point win for Sligo. If there is more than one such score the winner will be chosen by lot. If there is no correct answer, the winner will be the closest score chosen as per Rule 4:
- The closest winning margin ie the closest to a two point win for Sligo in the above example. So, if there is a prediction with a one or three point win for Sligo, that will be the winner. If there is more than one such score the winner will be chosen by lot. If there is no correct answer, the winner will be the closest score chosen as follows in Rule 5:
- The next closest winning margin with the same winner to the match – ie: a win for Sligo with the next nearest winning margin. If there is more than one such score, the winner will be chosen by lot. If there is no correct answer, see Rule 6:
- If there is no prediction of the correct winner of the match, then a draw will be the winner. If there is more than one such score the winner will be chosen by lot. If there is no correct answer, the winner will be the closest score chosen as per Rule 7:
- If there is no winner on that criteria, the next closest win for the Opponent (New York) will be the winner. If there is more than one such score the winner will be chosen by lot.
- In the event of a dispute, the organising committee’s decision will be final.
