The gang are in third in the competition to win their rent for a year, €2000 of which they have pledged to the Galway Cycle 2011.

Between everyone who votes and writes ":)" on the voting page, a draw will be for 2 x €100 One-for-all vouchers (if they win)! So get voting, we can have €2000 for the cycle, and you might pick yourself up an early start to the Christmas shopping.
