Class, many thanks to everyone who contributed today. It will be a few weeks before we are fully up to speed and hope to introduce better content in the near future, that green tie is awful by the way.
Best of luck

It’s a tough time for everyone these days but sometimes these kids and their lack of sporting opportunities are forgotten about. The sooner local sports return the better for everyone.
One year ago today, watched Summerhill win Connacht Senior Cup.Few days later, world changed. It's been quite the year.But joy in these young lads' faces still radiates with promise of better days ahead for all of us.

Been asked to investigate if there is an appetite among clubs for local under 21/22 league. Logistics and agreement with local league/ youth leagues would have to be ironed out. Lot of this age group frozen out and getting no sport. Suggested for week nights during summer months
Fair play for those involved in the initiative to bring senior ladies soccer to the area. All support is encouraged . Have seen very talented girls crying after their last under 18 games as there is no outlet to continue their sport.
IT Sligo in partnership with
@sligorovers
have announced plans to form a Senior Women’s Team. From 8 Sept we'll open up places on a number of courses & encourage applications from elite women’s soccer players with opportunities for sports scholarships ➡️
New season kicks off tonight. Best wishes to all clubs involved in local soccer. They need your support, whether it be financially, on the sideline or helping out on match days.
Can’t beat some Friday night football. 7-15 in the strand Siro has the league semi final between

and

. Promises to be a cracker. Shades, sun cream and avocados recommended !!
So sad to hear this morning the passing of our former management committee member Robbie Brunton. Robbie had a distinguished playing career with most notable

There is a proposal for a 10 team summer league . Discussions ongoing between clubs and league with proposed start date of early June . League statement due tomorrow.
Fai connect app may be the death knell for this Twitter page but I urge everyone to download it . It’s a great asset, some clubs made a great effort at the weekend and some made none . League have said that points may be forfeited by teams who don’t come on board by this weekend
