A number of club members, past and present, were in representative action over the weekend. Aaron Spring, Tadgh Power, and Niall Keneally were all in the Connacht Youth squad who faced Leinster on Saturday at Barnhall RFC. Connacht emerged victorious by a score of 14-8.
Sunday saw another Sligo star, Rory Kerins, playing for the Connacht U19s in their interpro decider with Leinster at the Sportsground. Also included in the squad were Thomas Gormley and Keith Farry. Connacht were undefeated prior to this match and hoped to land a famous Interpro title. Unfortunately an early barrage by a strong Leinster side ended any title hopes, and Leinster ran out convincing winners by 35-10.
Also involved in high class action over the weekend was former Sligo player Niall OHara, who is captain of AIL Division One side, Buccaneers this season. Niall, who is from Drumcliff, is a product of Sligo Grammar School and the Sligo RFC underage section. Fullback Niall will have the task of guiding Buccaneers to the top half of Division One which is where they will wish to be as under a new format next years Division one will be divided into two sections. The A section will be an elite league of this year’s top eight teams and Niall will be hoping that Buccaneers will be there. All at Sligo RFC wish Niall the best for the season and who knows maybe we can get him back to Sligo when Sligo progress to the AIL.
