Sligo Rovers were honoured by the Soccer Writers of Ireland by winning League of Ireland Website of the Year on Tuesday night.

Rovers were one of three clubs nominated for the award alongside Shelbourne and Waterford.

The Bit O’ Red were voted winners with club PRO Rory Houston saying the award was testament to the volunteer spirit of the club.

He added that the passing of club president Eddie McCullough in recent days reminded everyone of how important volunteerism is to Sligo Rovers and that his legacy lives on.

He thanked all those that work with the club on a volunteer basis.
