Hamilton Park, Strandhill, Sligo, Ireland – Founded 1890
John Callaghan President of the IRFU visited Sligo to attend the Sligo v Tuam Junior game on Sunday last. John Callaghan from the Armagh club as part of his year in office has decided that he should visit as many clubs as possible and Sligo RFC were honoured by his presence. He enjoyed the game which he thoroughly enjoyed and is a big supporter of the grassroots game all over Ireland. More photos available on facebook.
Sligos 2nds had their game postponed on Sunday last due to dangerous pitch conditions after heavy early morning sleet and snow. The high flying seconds are unbeaten in their league to date and are in a very strong position to take overall honours. This season under the guidance of Steve Alley as coach and Aaron Tansey as manager they are playing some fine rugby and as a group they are really enjoying the outings and should get back to playing again next Sunday

Corinthians 14 :: Sligo 9
Sligo slumped to their first Connacht Junior league defeat of the season when they were beaten by a well organised Corinthian outfit at Cloonacauneen on Sunday.
A late Corinthian try broke the hearts of the visitors who led by 2 points with 3 minutes left on the clock. Corinthians kicked the game off and Sligo immediately went on the front foot with a superb catch from Jason East before driving into the heart of the tribesmens defence. Some good positional kicking gave Sligo a foothold in the blues half. A series of rucks ensued before Sligo were awarded a penalty on the home 10 metre line. Paddy Pearson stepped up and bisected the posts with a well judged effort. Continue reading ‘Heartbreak in Galway’
