Saturday 12th July 2025 saw our first club lottery jackpot winner. The winner of the jackpot was Sonia Smith who won £2650.
Sonia and her husband Nick were presented with a cheque at half time during our pre-season friendly vs Pontefract Collieries. We caught up with Sonia who had this to say
"I couldn't believe it when I got the phonecall to say one of my lines had won the jackpot, I had thought it was un-winnable but I was very wrong! Really over the moon. Of course we don't enter with the expectation of winning, its all about supporting the club that my dad (club vice president Ernie Clarkson) has been involved with fundraising for as long as I've been around and that we come to watch every week. I remember in the 70s learning my letters and numbers as a child helping him with the football pools he used to run for the club and then coming to the committee meeting in the old green club hut where the car park is now on a Monday night with the cash! So I will be putting an amount back in to the club to help towards the new 3G pitch which is what dad would do too. Then with some of the remainder i will be enjoying a couple of nights in a spa hotel with my hubby!"
Huge congratulations to Sonia on winning the Jackpot. The prize fund will start again this coming Saturday with the prize at £1000. If you would like to get involved you can do using the link on the homepage of our website.
