Walsh works wonders again as Sligo taste glory

A GREAT week for Kevin Walsh and Sligo got even better at Ballyhaunis last evening when he guided the Yeats County to their first Connacht JFC win since 1998.

Walsh’s men, who came from behind to oust champions Mayo in the Connacht senior quarter-final on Saturday, also had to fight a rearguard action last night when they trailed 0-7 to 0-4 after 38 minutes, having been down by a point at the break after playing against the wind.

Galway might have been out of sight had Sligo goalkeeper Jason Farrell not pulled off a string of top-class saves.
