Senior Sports Fest is a big hit
The annual Senior Sports Fest 2018 hosted by Sligo Sport and Recreation Partnership (SSRP) took place recently at the Knocknarea Arena, IT Sligo.
It proved a great success with over 100 participants from 23 Active Age Clubs and community organisations taking part. The activity started with some exercise to music followed by a range of taster sessions, where participants got a chance to try a variety of sports including Boccia, Archery, Pilates, Vital Danza and Go for Life Games. The highlight of the day was a Kurling competition which was keenly contested with HSE Retired Persons Group emerging as the winners, while Skreen/Dromard Community Care group were runners up. The event is part of an initiative to promote lifelong participation in sport and physical activity while also promoting Sligo as an Age Friendly County.
