A two-month pre-season is farcical, but I suppose it's what happens when you're limited to 40-week contracts.

Due to essential repairs to the Finn Park Pitch the friendly game against Sligo Rovers originally planned for 4th February has been re-scheduled for Saturday 15th February with a 4.00pm kick-off.Quote:

Sligo Rovers playing Ballinamallard United on 10th February at 7.30pm in Ferney Park. A testimonial match for one of their players, Leon Carters.

Ballinamallard are the closest club that Sligo Rovers can play competitively (not inc. Junior teams) . Its a bit closer than Harps but it takes as long cause the road is sh"te. In their off season Ive see Ballinamallard fans in the Showgrounds on a few occasions. Bit of a connection with them of late seeing as they have had half a team of ex-Rovers playing for them.

Danny Keohane, Steve Feeney, Alvin Rouse and Liam Martin are ex-Sligo players with Ballinamallard. Not sure if there's any others.

Jason McCartney is also with them. Conor O'Grady was also with them for one season.
