Intermediate
Our intermediate team had a good win over Ardagh in a challenge game last Friday evening and will have another game this week in preparation for the next round of the championship which is fast approaching, depending on Sligo's progress.
Minor
The minor team are continuing training for their championship which will get underway shortly. Owenmore Gaels and Drumcliffe/Rosses Point are the opposition in the competition. All players are asked to attend training.
U-16
Our u-16 team begin their championship campaign at home to Geevagh on Monday evening (July 20th) at 7pm. Best wishes to everyone involved for the upcoming campaign. Well done to Eoin Hallinan who appeared in the black and white of Sligo in the Ted Webb Cup last Friday evening.
U-14
Our u-14 boys are set to begin their championship with an away fixture against St Molaise Gaels next Friday evening at 7pm in Monsignor Hynes Park. Best of luck to everyone involved.
U-12
Commiserations to our u-12 boys who lost out narrowly to Bunninadden, 0-13 to 0-11, in a very competitive league semi-final last Tuesday evening. The team has shown great improvement over the year and were unlucky to fall just short last week. Well done to the panel of players and their management team of Michael Duffy and Paddy Martin on a fine year.
Golf classic
Unfortunately, adverse weather conditions similar to those on view at St Andrews at the British Open last weekend forced the postponement of our own golfing day out last Friday. The golf classic is now pencilled in for Friday August 7th where hopefully the weather will be more favourable. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
County scene
Last Sunday's Connacht finals promised much but delivered little in terms of success, with the seniors succumbing to a fine Mayo side in the main event. However, our own Mark O'Dowd and the Sligo minor team battled tremendously to a draw with Galway, 1-4 to 0-7, and will replay the fixture next Friday evening at 7pm in Tuam Stadium. Best of luck to Mark and everyone involved.
On Friday evening last, Eoin Hallinan was part of the Sligo U-16 squad taking part in the Ted Webb Cup competition, while Tom Mahon was midfield for the Sligo U-21 hurlers in their 0-15 to 0-14 loss to Donegal in the All-Ireland 'C' championship semi-final last Saturday. Well done lads.
Dancing at the Crossroads
We are in the process of organising a novel fundraiser in Sheridan's Bar, Kilglass for the August Bank Holiday weekend. Music, a barbeque and great craic will all be part of what promises to be a great weekend. Tickets and more details will be available shortly.
Cúl Camp
It's that time of year again where children from around the area descend on Quigabar for the annual Cúl Camp. It promises to be a great week again with massive numbers set to attend. To book a place contact Michael Duffy (087) 6303567.
Black Pig Festival
Best wishes to everyone involved in organising and running the Black Pig Festival in Enniscrone this week.
Blotto
The newly revamped blotto draw continues every Saturday night in local pubs. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
Cycle against Suicide
Enniscrone hosted a SpinOff for the Cycle against Suicide event last Saturday, and it was a terrific display of community spirit. Hundreds took part and travelled around west Sligo. Well done to organiser Dermot Mullaney and all participants on a wonderful event. Thanks to club members who helped out stewarding on the day.
