Sligo got their first win under new boss Cathal Corey thanks to an eight-point defeat of Leitrim in the FBD League last night.
It finished 2-17 to 0-15 in favour of the Yeats men at the Connacht GAA Centre, with Adrian Marren and Pat Hughes netting the Sligo goals in the opening half.
The pair hit 2-8 between them, while Keith Beirne hit a personal tally of ten points for Leitrim.
Sligo boss Corey says it was a decent performance…
Sligo’s last game in the competition is at home to All-Ireland finalists Mayo on Sunday.
Stephen Rochford is set to a full squad available for the first time this year for that game, as they continue preparations for Sunday week’s league opener against Monaghan.
Throw-in in Markievicz Park on Sunday is at 2pm.
