Sligo
Urban Schools Blitz
Nine teams turned up to play last week in a 4th class urban
blitz in Cleveragh Sports Astro pitch. This was the first time for an event of
its kind to take place with players not affiliated to any club taking part
alongside some lads who are playing for their club. Coaches from the urban
clubs were invited along to the event. There was some fantastic skill on
display with coaches from each club hopefully unearthing some new players for
their underage teams. Thanks to the following schools for taking part.
Strandhill, st brendans, st.edwards, St .Johns, Mercy, Collooney boys,
Ballisodare, Rosses Point and Scoil Ursula. Hope all enjoyed the event.
