Famed for her exploits on the football field, Sarah McLoughlin is now using her remarkable ability as a singer and competing in a different field as the Ballinamore woman is seeking the support of Leitrim people everywhere in her bid to make the top ten contestants in The Ivory Sessions Talent Show.
Sarah is one of 50 contestants taking part in the competition on Facebook with the top ten most viewed entries qualifying for a live final on April 7, at the Newgrange Hotel, Navan, County Meath but she needs the support to make the final.
