Sligo Notes 29.04.2013

Sligo members were honored at a recent Connacht Council Awards Night. In the McWilliam Hotel, Claremorris on Saturday last the Connacht President Kathleen Kane presented awards to Roisin Collery of Curry Club who received a prize of €1,000 for the 3^rd Level Bursary Scholarship Award for Sligo.  St. Nathys for the 3^rd year running also won €1,000 in prizes for winning the Sligo Club Recognition Award.  Congratulations to all involved.

Connacht Council has arranged an U12 blitz for clubs in Connacht.  This is planned for 8^th June and all interested clubs are asked to send confirmation of attendance to Connacht Secretary at connachtadm@gmail.com.  The County Board are organising an U12 blitz, a location and date has not been confirmed but interested clubs are asked to send their details to Louise at sligoladiespro@gmail.com.

The U14 County Team had a home game against Galway on Saturday last and having been up by a goal at half time, they unfortunately could not hold on to secure a win.  This leaves them 1 win out of 3 games with the final round to be played on the 4^th May away to Mayo.

The Minor Team had 1 win out of 3 games going into their final round of the group stages when they were away to Roscommon on Saturday last the 27^th April.  In a well fought game Sligo were unfortunate and were defeated by 3 points at the final whistle.  As this was the last round this defeat means they proceed to a Connacht “B” Final and have to play Roscommon again next week on the 5^th of May.  (Time and venue to be confirmed)

The next county Board meeting is Monday 13^th May in the Embassy Rooms Sligo at 8.30pm.  All clubs are asked to inform their delegates.  It is important to attend these meetings.

Clubs that won 2012 League competitions last year are asked to return all cups, shields and trophies to the County board as soon as possible.  Please ensure these are cleaned and in good condition prior to returning them.
