Pride of place this week goes to Orla McGowan, Rachel Monaghan and the Sligo ladies gaelic football team who came from 8 points down at one stage to beat Waterford 2-12 to 2-8 and claim the Division 3 league title in Parnell Park last Saturday. It was a great achievement for the team and manager Paddy Henry. Highlights of the match will be shown on TG4 during the week.
Our senior men's team had no match at the weekend as the county side played Fermanagh in a challenge game. We're away to Tubbercurry in the Furey's Coaches Div 1 on Friday evening.

Also this Friday, the club is holding a table quiz in Austie's, Restaurant at 9.30pm. The proceeds from the quiz will go towards the minor panel. The minors completed their league campaign last Thursday with a 3-13 to 1-10 loss against St Michael's, and now begin preparations for the championship later in the summer. Your support on Friday evening would be greatly appreciated.

Well done to the U14 girls team who had a good win over neighbours St Molaise Gaels in the league on Friday.
