Sligo Rovers boosted by Westlife donation
Sligo Rovers have expressed their delight at a donation of 25,000 euro from Westlife.
The donation comes as the Sligo super-group bought band memorabilia from the club after avid collector Gavin Walsh donated the items which he accumulated over the past ten years.
Sligo Rovers' Robbie Fitzpatrick said that this was an incredible gesture especially in the current climate of league of Ireland football.
The money is a welcome boost to the club who have been well documented as struggling financially.
Speaking to Ocean FM News, Mr Fitzpatrick said that the donation is extremely important to the club.
Meanwhile Gavin Walsh who donated the collection to Sligo Rovers said that he is delighted that the memorabilia has gone to where it belongs.

Sale of Westlife rarities to aid club
By Anita Guidera
SUPERGROUP Westlife have been urged to help their local cash-strapped soccer club by buying some rare band memorabilia when it goes up for auction next week.
Avid collector Gavin Walsh from Sligo has agreed to donate his Westlife collection to raise money for Sligo Rovers at an auction next week to mark the club's 80th birthday and the 25th anniversary of their 1983 FAI Cup win over Bohemians.
The collection, worth an estimated €30,000, comprises up to 250 rare and one--off items of memorabilia, including Latin American and Asian posters, magazine covers and singing doll replicas of the Sligo group.
Mr Walsh (43), who has what is believed to be the biggest collection of Sex Pistols memorabilia in the world, said: "I felt it was my civic duty to collect these guys so I went on an eight-year binge, collating, cataloguing and collecting everything relating to Westlife".
He was once approached by a representative for the band to buy the collection.

Westlife dominate IFPI Platinum Awards
October 2008
Irish band Westlife pick up IFPI Platinum Awards for three separate albums in the third quarter of 2008. Albums achieve an IFPI Platinum Award when they first cross the million sales mark in Europe and for each additional million sales they rack up.
Westlife originally formed in 1998 and its current line-up consists of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan. The band achieved an IFPI Platinum Award for their ninth studio album Back Home and another for The Love Album, which contained the band's 14th UK number one The Rose.
In addition, their greatest hits compilation Unbreakable scored its second IFPI Platinum Award as it crossed the two million sales threshold across Europe.
Heavy metal veterans Metallica scored an IFPI Platinum Europe Award for their album Death Magnetic within a month of its release in September. The album also charted at number one in the US, making the band the first to have five studio albums debut at number one in the history of the Billboard Top 200.
Other albums picking up an IFPI Platinum Europe Award include the soundtrack to the smash hit film Mamma Mia featuring the songs of ABBA, One Chance the debut album from Paul Potts, winner of Britain's Got Talent, and Siempre from international operatic pop act Il Divo.
Leona Lewis picks up an IFPI Platinum Europe Award for her debut album Spirit, which includes the track Bleeding Love which topped the charts in 34 countries. The album topped the charts in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ireland, as well as becoming the fastest selling debut album since records began in the UK.
Coldplay’s international hit album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends picks up its second IFPI Platinum Europe Award of the year. The critically acclaimed Viva la Vida won a Q Award for best album of the year in October and has topped the charts in 36 countries worldwide.
