Shane joins a grand day for Sligo rugby fans

By Sharon Conway

WESTLIFE’S Shane Filan was one of hundreds of Sligo rugby fans who turned out for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the Grand Slam trophy cup in Sligo.

The crowd celebrated and reminisced over Ireland’s recent Grand Slam victory in Wales - as the O2’s Grand Slam Trophy tour visited Sligo’s O2 Store on O’Connell Street, on Friday.

During the RBS 6 Nations championship O2 gave Sligo rugby fans the opportunity to pledge their support and ‘Be the Difference’ to the Irish rugby team for the five gruelling encounters against some of the best rugby teams in the world.

Thousands of Sligo rugby fans took part in O2’s ‘Be the Difference’ campaign, signing up by text, online or visiting their local O2 store.

To thank Sligo rugby fans for signing up to the campaign, O2 offered them the chance to get their hands on the coveted 6 Nations and Triple Crown silverware and have their photo taken with the Grand Slam Trophy Tour.
