Niall Carew looking for redemption against Tyrone

Sligo will invoke the spirit of 2002 as they strive to redeem themselves against Tyrone at Croke Park today.

Thirteen years ago Sligo, then managed by Peter Ford, registered a 1-14 to 0-12 win against the Red Hand in the qualifiers and were later denied a place in the All- Ireland semi-final when losing to champions Armagh after a quarter-final replay.

Sligo captain Mark Breheny and Tyrone’s Sean Cavanagh, who holds the county’s record for most championship appearances, are the only survivors from that day.
