Sligo can stake Sigerson claim by halting Garda

WITH three titles in the last six years, Sligo IT start favourites to win the Ulster Bank Sigerson Cup.

And the fact that they defeated Galway in the Connacht FBD League final with a team that included seven inter-county players drawn from Donegal, Mayo and Sligo enhances their chances.

This afternoon Sligo IT make the long journey to Templemore (JK Brackens Club) to take on the Garda College in the quarter-final and, while they will fancy their chances, Garda’s shock victory over UCC in the previous round won’t have gone unnoticed.
