Bank on Sligo when it comes to a dogfight

GALWAY can have absolutely no complaints after their one point defeat on Saturday to a vibrant, fit and hugely committed Sligo outfit.

Big Kevin Walsh has them eating out of his hand and Sligo are on a serious roll now. They won their last five league games, beat Antrim in the league final and now have downed Mayo and Galway. They won’t fear Roscommon either and a quarter-final in Croke Park beckons.

They believe now they are a match for anyone in the country. When the game was in the balance in the last five minutes their conviction was self-evident and they hit the last three points from play.
