GOLF GIRLS!
Congratulations to Sophie Reynolds and Maebh McLoughlin, the Sligo Grammar school golf team, who retained their Connaught title yesterday. Well done girls.
Congratulations to the Sligo Grammar School Girls Golf Team who came second in the Junior Girls All-Ireland Golf Competition on Monday 29th April. The girls, Maebh McLoughlin and Sophie Reynolds, won the Connaught Shield and went on to play the All-Ireland at Milltown Golf Club in Dublin. Used to playing out of County Sligo Golf Club, a links course, the players dealt with the challenge of the parkland course brilliantly. Well done and here’s to next year!
Huge thanks go to Mr Pat Doherty who was the teacher in charge of golf for many very successful years.
