Congrats to Sligo women's footballers on their winning start to the National League last Sunday in Cloonacool. It was a proud day for DRP to see Sinead Regan captain the county team. There were also fine playing performances from Rianne Smith and Izzy Henry in the victory over Wicklow. Sligo have another home game this Sunday - against Antrim.
Best wishes to Cian Lally, Eoghan Smith and the Sligo men's senior footballers who begin their National League Division 3 campaign this Sunday against Offaly in Tullamore (2pm).
