AFTER CALRY/ST JOSEPH’S won the Sligo intermediate football championship yesterday, they knew where the first stop with the cup would be.
The team called into Scarden to visit former team-mate Gary Dillon who died in February.
Dillon featured in the Joe Brolly documentary this year after he befriended the RTÉ pundit, who donated a kidney to an ill neighbour.
“I’m sure Gar was cheering his heart out for ye on the sidelines as always,” the club’s Facebook page states. “Fair Play Lads.”
