Sligo U-20 manager Paul Henry has dedicated their historic All-Ireland semi-final win over Kerry to the 18-year old who scored the winner in the Connacht final last month but who has been battling meningitis in hospital.

Dillon Walsh from the Owenmore Gaels club crowned his 18th birthday last Wednesday fortnight by scoring the winning point in the Connacht final against Galway.
