Fast as Lightning......

Sligo Athletic Club U9, U10, U11 boys and girls took part in the Co Sligo Team Event in Skreen/Dromard Community Park last Wednesday evening. It was an excellent evening of athletics and Sligo AC had 52 teams present. 26 Sligo AC teams won medals and will now progress to the Connaught Team Event in Galway on 9th June and hopefully will qualify for the All Ireland Team Event in Cork at the end of June. A massive well done to all these young athletes who are our stars of the future and also a big well done and thank you to the Sligo AC coaching staff who dedicate a lot of their own personal time in helping and preparing these Boy's and Girl's for these event's. Happy Running Kid's. Pictured below are 2 of the "Kid's" who participated on the day.....Amy Deering, and Terence Hayes

Easy Riders.....

Two of Sligo AC's long distance road runners Ciaran Donnellan and Declan Foley are hitting the roads in a different manner on June 09th and 10th and all for a very worthy cause. The 2 lads are cycling from Dublin to Sligo to raise funds for the Sligo Cancer Support Centre. This is a journey that most people would complain about doing in their car so great respect goes to Ciaran and Declan for under taking this long journey on 2 wheels, but as the lads are well used to long miles on just 2 legs this will be no problem to them. Ciaran and Declan recently held a very successful Table quiz in the Glass House Hotel and raised much needed funds for the Sligo Cancer Support Centre and the lads are still seeking further donations and they can be contacted at 0868216499 and 0876263299 and all donations will be gladly accepted and badly needed no matter how big or small, so please support these 2 lads. Best of luck to both Ciaran and Declan from all their colleagues in Sligo AC and above all safe cycling.
