All roads lead to Rathcormac Hall this Saturday (24th) for our Annual Juvenile Awards night. There is much for Drumcliffe Rosses Point to celebrate in both football and hurling from 2014 with numerous successes for our underage teams. It promises to be a very enjoyable occasion for all the family. The awards ceremony will begin at 7.45pm.
The club is pleased to confirm the appointment of Paddy Gormley as the new Under 21 football manager for 2015. Other key managerial positions for the season ahead are currently being finalised.
There was a very positive response to our inaugural monthly club newsletter, which was published last week. Thank you for all the feedback. We’ll continue to tweak and improve it as we go along. The aim of the newsletter is to provide a regular and timely summary of the club’s activities and events. It will be emailed to all club members on the second Wednesday of every month. The February edition is scheduled for Wednesday 11th. If you have any items for inclusion, email the club PRO Austin O’Callaghan: sligoausty@gmail.com.
A reminder that the club’s monthly meeting is held on the second Monday of every month in Oxfield at 8pm. Managers and coaches are particularly welcome to attend these meetings. The monthly meeting is open to all club members, not just elected officers.
