Connacht MFC: Sligo send holders Mayo packing
December 20, 2020
Sligo 1-9
Mayo 1-7
Sligo knocked holders Mayo out of the Connacht minor football championship this afternoon to book their first final berth in the competition in four years.
Adam Gallagher’s goal on the eve of half-time proved crucial for the Yeats men as they held on for a sweet victory at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence in Bekan.
The points of Mark Gibbon and Cian McHale (3) helped Mayo to lead by 0-4 to 0-3 at the first water break and they’d be two in front after Sam Callinan and McHale (free) sailed over scores to outweigh one from Ciaran O’Reilly.
