Drumcliffe/Rosses club notes
April 18, 2016Heartiest congratulations to our U14 hurlers who, for the third consecutive year, have qualified to represent Sligo at the All-Ireland Féile. The team secured their place after weekend wins against St Mary's and Tourlestrane. Despite losing to Easkey, they still qualify as one of Sligo's two Féile representatives. Well done to the players and management. Féile na nGael 2016 takes place from June 17-19th in Tipperary and Waterford.
The senior footballers remain unbeaten after four matches in the Furey's Coaches SFL Division 2. They enjoyed a comprehensive 1-12 to 0-4 win at home to St John's on Saturday evening. Next up: Connolly Park, Collooney on Saturday evening to face Owenmore Gaels. Throw-in: 6:30pm.
An understrength ladies team concluded their Spring Cup campaign last Sunday when they lost their final group match to St Mary's. Congrats to our county representatives Rachel Monaghan and Michelle McNamara who were part of the Sligo team which retained its Division 2 league status the same afternoon with a dramatic two-point play-off win against Meath.
The boys minor footballers travel to play Geevagh this Friday evening in Division 3 of the league. Throw-in: 7pm. Our U14 footballers are away to Shamrock Gaels on Thursday evening at 7pm. Thanks to Calry/St Joseph's for facilitating a challenge game last Sunday evening.
