Commiserations to our U21 footballers Seán Power, Jude McGarry, Cian Lally and the Sligo team on last Saturday’s Connacht U21 final extra-time heartbreak against Galway. The team put in a courageous display on the evening and can hold their heads high.
Thank you to everybody who attended our Open Club Planning Workshop (pictured) last Friday night at County Sligo Golf Club. The evening provided club personnel and interested members of the local community the opportunity to give their opinions on the best way forward for the club over the next five years. Some good ideas were generated. We’ll be holding a similar event in Drumcliffe after Easter.
Our ladies intermediate footballers were well beaten by a strong Eastern Harps team in their concluding ACL Cup game last Sunday morning. Between injuries, illness and county commitments, we were without 10 of our frontline players and this had an impact on the game.
