Time is running out to support Midleton GAA in the Rebels Bounty draw for 2025!
This is a vital fundraiser for our club. As we have now exceeded our County Board quota, 100% of all entries from now on will go directly back to Midleton GAA.

As an extra incentive to sign up, Midleton GAA have acquired two premium tickets for Pairc Ui Chaoimh for Cork’s home Championship fixtures. These will be raffled amongst Rebels Bounty draw members who have signed up by the end of February. In January, we raffled these tickets for all of Cork’s home National League games.
The Rebels Bounty is an excellent draw which provides the chance to win your share of a total prize fund of €500,000 across twelve monthly draws throughout 2025, while also raising vital funds for your local club.
