Concentration will be key to victory, says frustrated Ford

PETER FORD believes his Sligo side must rid themselves of the concentration lapses that cost them the Connacht final if they are to beat Tyrone on Sunday in Croke Park.
Concentration will be key to victory, says frustrated Ford

After watching the Connacht final a few times since the heart wrenching defeat to Galway, Ford believes the winning and losing of that game came in the 10 minutes after half time when Galway stretched their lead from six points to nine.

“Galway were playing with a gale force wind for most of the first half and three minutes before half time they were only six three up,” Ford said. “Even going in at the break just six points down, I still thought we were in a great position. What lost the game for us was the three points after half time, we had to come back from nine rather than six points.”
