Congrats to our boys U16 footballers who have reached the county ‘A’ championship final following Monday evening’s spirited 1-12 to 1-9 win over Ballymote/Bunninadden in the semi-final. It’s due recognition for this group of players who have worked so hard all year to get to this point. Best wishes to manager Des Henry and the players in the final, which will be a North Sligo derby against neighbours St Molaise Gaels. The final takes place next Tuesday evening (Sept 18th) in Scarden at 6:15pm. The team would appreciate big club support.

Special mention to Ross Chambers who played a key role in Monday’s win. He broke his collarbone playing rugby the following day. The club wishes him a speedy recovery.
