Sligo go down as brave effort just falls short

SLIGO almost produced a great escape but in the end, it was results on other days that manager Kevin Walsh was ruing as his side were relegated in Newbridge yesterday.

Man of the match Eamonn Callaghan ended a wonderful all-round display with his fourth point of the tie in the third minute of injury time to deny the visitors the draw that would have kept them in Division Two.

Two excellent points from second-half sub David Maye looked to have rescued the westerners but it wasn’t to be as Callaghan struck at the death to deny them.
