Sligo wins through to final

Sligo 0-13 Roscommon 2-5, Dr Hyde Park

Sligo won through to their first Connacht SFC final since 2002 with a superb second half display at Hyde Park.

Having gone 2-4 to 0-4 behind, the Yeats men managed to outscore Roscommon by 0-9 to 0-1 over the closing half-hour to claim a place in the July 8 decider.

Roscommon captain Karol Mannion blasted to the net, two minutes before half-time, to help his side to a 1-3 to 0-4 interval lead.

Cathal Cregg also goaled in the 37th-minute but Sligo, with Eamon O'Hara and their half-forward line in outstanding form, came good thanks to some assured point-taking.
