Bonagee United are giving free season tickets to Club Bonagee members of pension age.
Jim Patton, Mickey McCarron, Brian McGranaghan and Dessie Gibson have become the first four recipients of their season tickets as FAI National League football arrived at Dry Arch Park.
Bonagee United drew their first game against Home Farm DCU two weeks ago and will host Lucan United this Saturday at Dry Arch Park (kick-off 5pm).
The initiative is part of Club Bonagee, a new monthly draw launched by the club which gives members the opportunity to win a share of a €1,000 prize pot every month, while also supporting the continued development of Bonagee United.
Membership costs just €20 per month, with monthly prizes of €500, €300 and €200.
“The club belongs to its members and to the wider Bonagee community so wanted Club Bonagee to be about more than just a monthly draw,” Bonagee United Chairman Niall Callaghan said. “This is about giving something back to the people who have supported the club and local football in general for so long.
“While we as a club are always looking forward, it is also vital for us to acknowledge the trojan work that has been done in supporting the club in its journey so far. This is simply a thank you and a celebration as we step into the FAI National League.”
The senior men’s team’s entry into the new FAI National League represented a significant milestone in the club’s history, bringing a new level of football to Dry Arch Park and providing an opportunity for the club to build on its development work.
Mr Callaghan said: “There is a real sense of momentum around Bonagee at the moment. We have teams and players progressing at all levels, and now our senior men have taken the next step into the National League.
“We want Club Bonagee to be part of that journey. For €20 a month, members have the chance to win a share of €1,000 every month, but they are also helping support the club as we move forward.”
There is also an added incentive for businesses who join Club Bonagee, with further benefits available to participating businesses.
