The HUST
Prize Bull Lottery Jackpot of £1500 has been claimed. One lucky winner matched
the numbers 1,6,7 & 21 drawn on Monday night, that was Matthew Davis.
" I'm 36 and I'm one of the many bulls
fans living away from Hereford. I live in High Wycombe,
Bucks, with my wife Vicki, my son Oscar (7) and daughter Zoe
(2)."
Matthew
is a long-time Bulls supporter " I've been a member of the trust since the
early days (member 199) and was a supporter of Hereford United from the
late eighties until the end."
"
With it being so far and with small children, I don't get to nearly as
many games as I'd like, so I'm usually relying on the
excellent Radio Hereford FC and HUFC in action on my Saturdays. The
easiest game to get to last season was Wembley, which is about
25 minutes away, so it would be great if we could just get as
many trips there as possible!"
"I
get a lot of info from London Bulls, but believe it or not there are a couple
of us in High Wycombe. In 2006, I was celebrating the play-off win with a
meal in an Indian restaurant. I was wearing my shirt and two more Hereford
fans wearing shirts walked in and sat down, which must have looked a
bit odd to everyone else. We've been friends since and often make the trip
up together."
"We
are delighted for Matthew." said new fundraising co-ordinator Tristan
Edwards, "This win comes at a time when HUST is looking to increase its
fund-raising capabilities and The Prize Bull Lottery is one area we are looking
to improve. We are hopeful that Matthew will be able to attend Edgar
Street soon so that a presentation can be made."
HUST would like to form a working party to examine fund
raising ideas and take them forward. If you would like to participate in this
then please email tristan.edwards@hufctrust.co.uk "
