Sligo women’s gaelic footballers suffered a second consecutive defeat in Group A of the TG4 All-Ireland junior football championship when they lost to Limerick by 2-7 to 1-7 in an entertaining game in Newcastlewest.
The result, coupled with Down’s hammering of Kilkenny, means Sligo cannot now qualify for the All-Ireland semi-finals.
In keeping with LGFA championship games across the country this weekend, both the Sligo and Limerick players returned to the dressing-rooms after the National Anthem was played – in protest at the lack of progress on various player welfare issues in recent weeks.
