"We have been able to work closely with our local primary schools in bringing together a weekly timetable which will see roughly 30 classes avail of the coaching each week.

"During the school holiday periods, Conal will be providing extra coaching in the club but also reaching out to local community organisations to offer coaching in areas around the town.

"Strabane Sigersons are very proud of where we have come from since our reformation in 1986.

"We have always ensured that we don’t stand still as a club and are always looking ways to progress. this appointment indicates our intention to keep doing that for many more years to come.
