We had a terrific Cúl Camp week at Oxfield with 240 kids participating. Special thanks to lead coach Darragh Cox and his Sligo GAA team of coaches for a terrific five days. As always, our Cúl Camp co-ordinator Mary Power, ably assisted by Phil Gallagher, Damien Kerrigan and a host of club volunteers helped ensure the week ran flawlessly. Well done to all participants who had a fab week.
Thank you to everyone who dropped off bags for our ‘Cash for Clobber’ Collection at Oxfield all last week.
Big congrats to Gemma O’Callaghan, Kate Smith, Katie McDonagh and the Sligo U16 girls footballers who beat Armagh last week to qualify for next Sunday’s All-Ireland’ ‘B’ final against Kerry.
