Seven DRP footballers: Izzy Henry, Rianne Smith, Eabha Kilfeather, Maeve Casserly, Roisín Grennan, Caoimhe Connors & Katie McGuire were all part of the Sligo LGFA county girls U16 panel who took part in the ‘Virtual 5k run for Ríoghnán’ on Sunday. The run is in honour of Ríoghnán Flanagan (son of Etna) who passed away in 2015 while waiting for a heart transplant. A 5k run has been held every year since. This year’s event had to be virtual. Instead of raising cash, every member of the girls U16 panel pledged to recruit two new organ donors.
Another nice touch was that all the other Connacht U16 county panels joined the Sligo girls on the virtual run.

Another of our U16 footballers, Saoirse O’Donovan, set herself a challenge for May 2020 of walking 10km everyday for Pieta House. She's finished with with 319.17km last Sunday, raising over €500 for the charity. Well done Saoirse.
