Louth win close-fought contest

Louth 2-7 Sligo 0-12

Sligo's long journey to Dundalk ended in defeat today as second-half goals from Shane Lennon and Colm Judge helped Louth gain a slender victory.

It was a 75th-minute point from Ronan Carroll that stole the win for the hosts.

The Connacht champions had made an excellent start and were fully deserving of their 0-6 to 0-2 interval advantage.

Eamon McEnaney's home side responded well on the restart however to record their third league win of the season.
