The other clubs named for pre-season were local sides, Arrow Harps, Ballymote Celtic and Real Tubber. Longford Town is an away fixture. I didn't hear we had Derry, but it would be nice to have them in the Showgrounds.
should be a good laugh up in gurteen... just hope none of our new signing d get injured by some 40 year old centre half and end up with a broken leg... here to a few pints in the humble spud after...?
any word on a keeper yet??? :confused:
Sligo Rovers have lined up ten pre-season fixtures prior to the big First Division kick-off on the weekend of 20th March. A mixture of cross border, local and Premier Division sides are sure to put Rovers through their paces before the football starts in earnest.

The manager, in his first full season in charge is using Irish League teams and Eircom League Premier Division clubs because as he feels thats the standard that we need to maintain.
In selecting Arrow Harps, Ballymote Celtic, Real Tubber and Gurteen Celtic because Connor wants to bring the team out into the county of Sligo and involve the club more in the local community.
