Sligo LGFA senior gaelic footballers are facing relegation to Divsion 4 of the Lidl National Football League following Sunday’s 3-7 to 1-8 loss to Wexford in Ballycullinane, county Wexford.
In challenging and windy conditions, scoring opportunities were few and far between for both sides in the opening half – with Caoilfhionn Ní Nualláin’s goal shortly before half-time giving Wexford an interval advantage of 1-1 to 0-2.
Sligo drew level early in the second half thanks to a Sinead Regan three-pointer – but two further Wexford goals from Chloe Fox and Ní Nualláin again in the second 30 minutes proved to be the criticial scores and Sligo, still without a win in Division 3 this season, now need to beat Louth in the final league game next weekend – and hope that Antrim lose to Roscommon, in order to avoid the drop.
