TUBBERCURRY almost upset the odds in Group Two of the Sligo SFC but ended up drawing with their south Sligo rivals and last year’s county finalists, Tourlestrane, 0-10 to 0-10, at Curry yesterday evening.

GALWAY footballers received a huge boost with news the knee injury Michael Meehan sustained against Kerry on Sunday is not as serious as first feared.

MICHAEL SHIELDS continues at full-back, with Ray Carey and Anthony Lynch holding down the corner-back positions as Cork announce the same starting side that defeated Armagh in their final group qualifying game for Sunday’s Allianz NFL Division Two final against Monaghan at Croke Park.
