Colleges should get FBD league chop, says John Prenty

Connacht Council secretary John Prenty has called for third-level teams to be pulled from the province’s FBD league.

Galway-Mayo IT endured a 5-24 to 0-1 trouncing at the hands of Sligo last Sunday, this 38-point defeat representing the college’s second successive thumping in the competition — Val Daly’s students fell to Leitrim by 5-20 to 2-10 the weekend before last.

IT Sligo were also subjected to a comprehensive beating at the hands of Roscommon in the opening round, the Sligo college losing out on a scoreline of 6-21 to 0-15.
