CJ NETS £2.3K ON LUCKY NUMBERS JACKPOT

Montrose FC forward, Craig Johnston had reason to celebrate the end of the season recently when his numbers came up on the Montrose Football Lucky Numbers, netting him an amazing £2,350.

Run jointly by Montrose FC, Montrose Roselea JFC and Merpro AFC, the local community scheme, which gives participants 3 chances to win on each £1 ticket, has paid out almost £120,000 since it began back in 2008.

Craig, delighted with his win said, “When the gaffer phoned me I actually thought he was winding me up. It was a Monday, and I’d had better Mondays at work so that cheered me up! I plan to use the money to sort my holidays I have coming up.”

Scheme Promoter Stuart Robertson added, “As always, we are delighted to see big wins like Craig’s, as it highlights just how good the scheme is, both to those who play and to the local community. In the last 14 years we have raised over £155,000 to support local football and I would like to thank all those who continue to regularly buy our tickets.”

Craig is pictured receiving his bumper cheque from MFC Club Chairman, John Crawford.

RENNIE EXTENDS STAY AT LINKS PARK

Montrose FC have extended the contract of Martin Rennie until January, giving the striker a chance to recapture his form following an injury stricken season.

Despite being an ever-present in the Premier Sports Cup group stage back in July, Rennie managed only one league game before being side-lined with a hernia, for which he underwent surgery at the end of November.

After a lengthy and complex recovery, the 28 year old finally took to the field again at the end of April in the Club’s last league game against Alloa Athletic, in what was his 100th appearance for the Gable Endies.

Just a week later, Martin came off the bench to score for the first time since July against Airdrieonians in the Championship Play-off semi-final.

Manager Stewart Petrie said, “Martin had a very tough and frustrating season, so it was an easy decision to offer an extension. We all know what he is capable of and we look forward to seeing him return to that level again.”
