Martin double sinks Sligo

CORNER-FORWARD Michael Martin fired two excellent goals as Galway wrapped up their FBD League campaign with a win over Sligo at Tuam Stadium yesterday.

Martin, a member of the Galway minor team which won the 2007 All-Ireland title, scored an astonishing opening goal to put Galway 2-4 to 0-6 ahead at the interval.

Sligo reduced the margin after the restart with points from Brendan Egan and Murphy, but goals by Nicky Joyce and Mark Hehir killed off the contest.
