DRUMCLIFFE/ ROSSES POINT

IT was Super Saturday for our girls U12 footballers who lifted the Sligo U12 ‘ A’ Plate title with an impressive victory over Eastern Harps in the final at Markievicz Park. The girls came from 5- 1 down in the first quarter to win by 11 points at the finish in what was marvellous team display with every player playing her part. Particular thanks go to the parents and families for their encouragement and support this season. IT was a good bank- holiday weekend all round for our various teams in action with the senior men’s footballers beating St Mary’s in Division 1 by 0- 17 to 1- 9 at Oxfield to collect two valuable league points. This was a solid team performance with Paul Logan showing a welcome return to form from frees, contributing 0- 7 on the day while there were also encouraging displays from Cian Lally at midfield ( 0- 2) and Niall Collery ( 0- 3) in attack. The league now takes a break for a few weeks while the county team begins its All- Ireland qualifier campaign. THE draw for Round 1A, which includes Sligo, will be made this Tuesday morning, June 6th, on RTE Radio 1’ s Morning Ireland programme at 8: 35am.
