Calum Wins £5K As Lucky Numbers Jakpot Pays Out Again

Local man Calum Watson has won the £5,000 Jackpot on the Montrose Football Supporters Group Lucky Numbers scheme.

The self employed joiner collected his winnings only a week after Will MacDonald from Thain also won the £5,000 Jackpot.

Both men benefitted from enhancements made to the scheme just 4 weeks ago.

Based on the National Lottery draw, the scheme raises funds for Montrose FC, Montrose Roselea JFC and Merpro AFC.

Administrator Stuart Robertson said, “Congratulations to both Calum and Will, we are delighted to have such big winners so early in the year. Last year we paid out over £8,000 and now with 3 chances to win Calum and Will are likely to be just our first big winners of 2016.”

This weeks Jackpot is £1,400.

Tickets are available from The Home Dugout or Alan Pirie.

Trio Commit To The Mighty Mo!

Following Andy Steeves recent contract extension at Links Park, three other players have now followed suit and put pen to paper for another season.

Ross Campbell, Graham Webster and Greg Pascazio have all signed a one year extension to their existing contracts, committing their immediate future to Manager Paul Hegarty's side.

32 year old Campbell joined the club last year from East Fife and his experience and versatility has seen him play in a number of positions in his 45 appearances, scoring 10 goals along the way.

Webster has been at Links Park for 3 seasons and has flourished under the current management team. The 23 year old winger has scored 9 goals this year, his best return in a Montrose strip and second only to Gary Fraser.

Having been released by Rangers in the summer, Greg settled in quickly at Links Park and developed a strong centre half partnership with on loan youngster Matty Allan. The 19 year old has made 25 appearances and scored his only goal for the club in the 3-2 win against East Stirling back in January.

Hegarty said, "I am delighted Ross, Graham and Greg have signed for another season. We are making good progress in shaping our squad for next year and I hope to secure more signings very soon."
