In addition to the presentation of a new divisional perpetual trophy and medals for each panel, the winners of this weekend’s Spring League finals will also be playing for a cash prize each.

Sligo GAA Chairman Sean Carroll confirmed that the winners of each final in the senior grade of the competition – one team in each of the North, South, East and West will get a payment of €500.  The prize money for the equivalent Junior grade competition played in two competitions – North/East and South/West will receive €250 each.

The competitions have been well received and well contested according to Mr. Carroll who is looking forward to attending a number of the final games over the weekend.

“The feedback we have is that these games have served a useful purpose in getting players back out on the field and helping teams to prepare for the leagues which started just two weeks ago. The opportunity of some reasonably competitive games is a great way to prepare a team and I’m sure that there are some new folktales being created in these neighbour versus neighbour games that have resulted”.
