The club has been a proud supporter of the SLIGO SUPER CUP over the past four years and we look forward to hosting the tournament here at the Showgrounds again on the week-end of April 24/26th.

In keeping with the impressive traditions of the under-12 elite tournament, this year’s line-up is once again top notch, with English Premier League academies, Newcastle United and Southampton set to make their debut in Sligo alongside the likes of Aberdeen, Derby County and our own Sligo/Leitrim league team.

To help defray the costs of hosting such a prestigious tournament, the organisers are holding a Table Quiz in Connollys Pub, Markievicz Road, on Wednesday next, March 4th at 8p.m. A fantastic array of prizes includes a Wolverhampton Wanderers jersey donated by Irish international Matt Doherty, whose family hail from Sligo town. Other valuable prizes include Rovers match tickets, Joma sportswear and restaurant vouchers.

We would urge the local football community to support this fund-raiser for a tournament which helps to underline Sligo’s place as a major soccer stronghold.
