Sensational Sligo put an end to Kildare’s winning run

Sligo 2-15 Kildare 2-14: Sligo boss Niall Carew came back to haunt his home county as his side ended Kildare’s perfect run in this Division 3 campaign at St Conleth’s Park yesterday.

Sensational Sligo put an end to Kildare’s winning run

Kevin McDonnell’s 67th minute goal was the crucial score as it helped Sligo into a three point lead and although Kildare - reduced to 14 men when Adam Tyrrell picked up a second yellow card in the 53rd minute — scored two points in injury time they couldn’t find an equaliser.

It’s a hugely significant result at both ends of the table and is a massive boost to Sligo’s hopes of avoiding relegation, while also denying Kildare a chance of securing promotion with two games to spare.
