Purposeful Fermanagh shake off dogged Sligo

In a game spoiled by difficult underfoot conditions — this pitch was deemed unplayable a week previously when the sides were originally scheduled to meet — Rory Gallagher’s charges did enough to secure a third successive win in this spring’s campaign.
Although stunned by the home side’s quickfire start — Sligo led 0-3 to 0-0 by the third minute — Fermanagh eventually found their feet and five points without reply saw them lead 0-5 to 0-3 after 25 minutes.
