He was a valuable member of the Clubshistoric U-14 Team which represented Sligo in Feile Peil na nOg in Coolmeen CoClare in 1999. Shane was a very skilful player and was equally at ease witheither foot and he represented the Team in the skills competition at theFeile. He also won the U-14 League andChampionship in 1999 thus completing thetreble at U-14 level which was a historic first for the Club. He was on theU-16 Team that won the U-16 League in 2001. Shane progressed to the Int andJunior Teams and was always first attraining and last to leave. He received the ‘’Clubs Intermediate Player of theYear Award in 2006’’ for his reliability, dependability, his exquisite skill and pace and for getting some great scores from play and from frees.For his humility and honesty and for getting on with life on andoff the field without any fuss’’.
