The annual hurling Puc Fada competition took place on Sun. June 23^rd. Originally scheduled for Coney Island strand this was switched to nearby Culleenamore Strand in Strandhill because of the extreme weather conditions at Scarden. There were two divisions involved covering both senior and U16 hurlers. A total of five clubs sent representatives  to this competition namely Coolera-Strandhill, Naomh Eoin, Calry, Tubbercurry and Easkey. Despite the weather conditions a very enjoyable and competitive tournament was run off very efficiently. In the senior category the honours went to Chris Madden from the Calry club very closely followed into second place by Niall Cadden from the Coolera-Strandhill club. In the U16 section pride of place went to Adam Kerrigan from the Coolera-Strandhill club closely followed home by Kieran Devaney from the Easkey club and Tony O ‘Kelly-Lynch from the Naomh Eoin club. The winners will now go forward to represent Sligo at the Connacht stage of this national competition. Many thanks to the organisers of the event – Kieran Tobin and Tom Brenan from Coolera-Strandhill club, Bill O ‘Kelly-Lynch from the Naomh Eoin club and Tom Evans from the Easkey club.

All rounds of the Dermot Molloy Hurling league competition are now complete with Calry top of the group and Coolera-Strandhill in second place. There is a three-way playoff for third and fourth positions between Western Gaels, Tourlestrane and Manorhamilton who all finished on equal points – the semi-finals can then be scheduled.
