Congrats to Eoghan Smith, Lee Cummins and the Sligo minor footballers who beat Down by a point last Saturday in Clones to lift the Ulster minor shield title. Eoghan’s dad Jimmy is part of the Sligo management team too. 

Big congrats to our senior club footballer Michelle McNamara who has received a Women’s Gaelic Player Association Scholarship for 2019 - one of only 26 recipients in the country.

Our ladies intermediate footballers were well beaten by Eastern Harps on Sunday morning in the Spring Cup. 

The club had two representatives - Rianne Smith and Izzy Henry - on the Sligo under 14 team which played Roscommon on Saturday in the Connacht ‘B’ championship final. While the game ended in defeat for the Sligo girls, it was a fine achievement to reach the decider.
