Sligo’s greater hunger shines out

A MASSIVE clash in the last 15 minutes between captains, Trevor Mortimer and Charlie Harrison, epitomised the difference between their respective Mayo and Sligo sides on Saturday evening.

Harrison picked himself off the deck, wiped the blood from his forehead and looked ready for more. Mortimer, who incurred a yellow card for the hit, was clearly a beaten docket and soon had to limp off the field.

His removal reflected the sinking feeling of all Mayo supporters at Markievicz Park. And beyond.
