The Sligo Rovers DS Futsal team got a fantastic reception on Friday, June 28 at the Showgrounds when the team were guests of the club at the game against Shamrock Rovers.

The players were introduced at half time to the crowd and prior to that enjoyed some refreshments in the Clubhouse where they met Rovers Chairperson Tommy Higgins, Rovers legends Eoin Doyle and Danny Ventre and Benny The Bull.

The team was established as part of the clubs series of Football Social Responsibility (FSR) programmes.

The players have demonstrated huge commitment and effort since the setting up of the team and its fantastic that this was recognised last night by all the supporters.
