AGM

The club is holding its AGM Sunday 26th November at LATER TIME of 5pm in the club house. All members are encouraged to attend.

Scór na nÓg

As the competitions wind down on the field in the county, attention is now turning to GAA matters off the pitch. This is a special Winter season for Sligo GAA and it's Scór Committee as we host the All Ireland Finals at both Scór Sinsir and Scór na nÓg levels.

Clubs are asked to make an extra special effort to get involved as we aim to have some home grown talent take to the stage of IT Sligo come Spring 2018. For the first time ever Scór na bPaistaí is being run for Primary School children in October in a bid to foster a relationship with the association and Scór.

Anyone interested in music, song, dance or drama should contact Keith Henry 086-3357182 or Catherine Gallagher 087-6494568, any Scór Committee member or their club for more information.
