About 300 athletes plus coaches and volunteers descended on Craigavon for the Special Olympics Ireland Winter Games.

A Connaught team including athletes from Mullingar, Loughrea, Athlone and Galway made it to the third/ fourth place play-off.

In one of the closest and hardest fought games of the tournament, Connaught lost out 11-10 to Leinster.

All put in huge effort over the weekend but it was a quite bus that dropped the lads off at The Kinnegad Plaza on the Sunday evening, from where they headed home for a well earned rest.
