County Sligo Golf Club Men’s Captain Robert Fitzpatrick said: “We are delighted that the Connolly Motor Group have agreed to continue their sponsorship for a further three years. To have a sponsor of the prestige and generosity of Connolly’s allow us to do so much for the players and volunteers. Their support of sport is well recognised and certainly appreciated by many.”
