North West Cup 2016
Saturday, 12th December saw the launch of the North West Cup at the Centre of Excellence, Scarden. It is a relatively new competition with four u21 teams taking part in the New Year. The tournament will assist panels in their preparation for their respective provincial competitions.
The Counties that will be involved in the New Year are; Sligo, Mayo, Fermanagh and Donegal. The Cup itself has been donated by the Mc Partland family in memory of the late Mary Mc Partland an avid GAA supporter. Development officer John McPartland snr. officially handed over the trophy to Cathaoirleach Seosamh Ó Taift on behalf of the family with John jnr. (an u21 selector) and other members of the family in attendance.
Sligo Chairman Joe Taaffe explained that this was the first function to be held in the almost complete centre. He praised the efforts of the Development Officer who oversaw the work on the new facility and thanked the Mc Partland family for their sponsorship of the trophy.
