The club is taking part in the St Patrick’s Day Parade this Saturday in Sligo. Any club members from U8 upwards are invited to don their club colours and join us. We’ll be assembling on the Mail Coach Road at 11:30am. The collection point when we finish is the Pearse Road outside the Mercy Primary School.
After the Parades in both Sligo and Grange, why not join us in Harry’s Bar Rosses Point for the club’s annual St Patrick’s Day Family Hot Pot this Saturday. From 1:30pm onwards, we’ll be serving some delicious hot grub for all the family. You can also watch the rugby (England v Ireland) and the GAA club finals on the TV screens.
