Just how far can Mayo’s Ballintubber go based on this resilient performance? That debate is for another day after they dug out a one-point win against Tourlestrane, the Sligo champions, in this low-scoring yet thoroughly absorbing Connacht GAA Club SFC quarter-final.

DESPITE being given a first-half scare, defending champions St Brigid’s cruised into the Connacht Club SFC final with a merited six-point defeat of plucky Tourlestrane at Markievicz Park yesterday.

ALL six forwards and two half-backs found the range for Sligo champions Tourlestrane as they booked a Connacht club semi-final against St Brigid’s of Roscommon next month.
