Holders Curry into last eight

Despite only scoring two second-half points, defending champions Curry hung on for a one-point win over Bunnanadden, 3-8 to 3-7, in a thrilling Sligo SFC Group A tie at Ballymote on Saturday as Anthony Brennan’s side head for the last eight as section winners.

First-half goals from James Walsh and veterans Kevin Giblin and Sean Davey helped Curry lead 3-6 to 1-3 at half-time but they only pointed twice in the second period – both scores from Brian McDonagh, who supplied six of their eight points.

Tourlestrane are also through to the last eight as Group C winners but were held to a draw by Coolera-Strandhill, 1-11 to 2-8.
