Sligo GAA will mark the anniversary of Mickey Kearins being the top scorer during the 1968 campaign by unveiling a plaque to commemorate the achievement.

It is the Golden Jubilee of when Kearins was the leading forward in the country when he scored 2-125 during the campaign.

The plaque will be unveiled at the foyer of the Sligo GAA Centre of Excellence, Scarden this Friday, November 30th.

Kearins played with Sligo for 17 years from 1961 to 1978. In 1971 he was the first Sligo man to win an All-Star. He is also the only Sligo player to win a Cú Chulainn Award winning 3 years in a row in 1964-66.

In 1975, he helped Sligo win the Connacht Senior Football Championship for the first time since 1928.
