Brilliant performance from Development Squad as they defeat Ballinasloe, Boston Tea Party success
SLIGO 2ND XV BALLINASLOE 27 10
ON a sunny Saturday, with little or no breeze, the Sligo men’s development squad made their first trip to Ballinasloe and clocked up a comprehensive first win of the season in the Connacht J1A league.
Captain Matt Davey led by example, touching down for one of the four tries, ensuring the bonus point for the away team.
Sligo stalwart Jamie Bowes saw a return to action and his ball-carrying in the second half gave the younger members in the pack great direction, letting his actions do the talking as always.
As the Sligo forwards dominated in the scrum, Niall Gray then directed play at out-half, leading to a further three tries by Ross O’ Boyle, Enda Gavin and man of the match David Cawley.
The Sligo coaches were happy with such a dominant performance and the bonus point win.
The team have a week off from fixtures next week but will be back in action at 2.30pm on 19th November when they take on Galwegians at home. Other weekend results: Sligo U16s. 22 Claremorris U16s 12
Sligo U14s 12
Buccaneers U14s. 15
The Boston Tea Party fundraiser was held in the Glasshouse hotel on Saturday.
The event was a great success, with nearly 300 people attending the club’s Boston Tea Party in The Glasshouse last Saturday night.
Thanks to all involved for a memorable night and for raising much-needed funds for the club. U10s fly the Sligo flag for Connacht
It was a big night for Sligo U10’s last Saturday, as they performed the guard of honour at the Connacht V Cheetahs game in the Sportsground.
They then played Ballinrobe at half-time. Well done to all involved, they did themselves and their club proud.
