Sligo withstood a late Wexford fightback to take two valuable points from a game played at windswept Wexford Park on Saturday afternoon.

Improving Sligo won their second Division Four fixture in succession as they did just enough to see off Antrim in a tit-for-tat encounter at Markievicz Park.

Three first-half goals provided the platform for victory — Sligo’s first League win since defeating Derry in 2018.

Sligo 3-12 Leitrim 3-7: Five unanswered points in the last 10 minutes set up Sligo’s five-point defeat of plucky neighbours Leitrim in an eventually enthralling Connacht MFC semi-final at Markievicz Park.
