All roads lead to Nenagh in county Tipperary this Saturday afternoon (Aug 5th) as Sligo LGFA minor footballers take on Kerry in the All-Ireland ‘B’ final at 2:30pm. We wish the team the very best of luck. The club was delighted host the Sligo players and management at Oxfield last Friday evening for a ‘Meet & Greet’ evening with supporters. A big thank-you to all the club bakers, sandwich-makers and helpers who served up some delicious food for our guests and ensured a very enjoyable evening. Best wishes to the DRP trio on the team this Saturday: Izzy Henry, Ruth Flanagan and Rianne Smith. Saturday’s game is being streamed live by the LGFA – and will also be live on Ocean FM.
