Super Sligo blitz Louth early on in Allianz NFL

Sligo 2-26, Louth 2-9 Sligo kick-started their faltering Division 3 campaign with a sparkling defeat of Louth at Markievicz Park, their first win in four league outings.

Niall Carew’s charges were simply marvellous during the opening period and they led 2-16 to 1-4 at the break with Criostoir Davey and the excellent David Kelly getting their first-half goals.

Kelly (1-5), Mark Breheny (0-8) and Adrian Marren (0-7) were the winners’ top scorers as a young midfield of Cian Breheny and Niall Murphy provided the ammunition.
