Winners are revealed for inaugural Sligo Sports Awards on March 9th
THE 15 award winners have been selected for the first- of- its kind Sligo Sports Awards which are being run by the Sligo Champion.
Callan Tansey Solicitors are the main sponsor for the event with former Republic of Ireland star Niall Quinn the special guest.
The inaugural awards, which are taking place on Thursday, March 9th, in the Radisson Blu hotel, saw sports fans across the county have the chance to nominate who they believe merited an award.
The deadline closed last Wednesday and the judges met soon after to go through the many nominations received from the public.
