Sligo V Mayo

Sligo V Mayo

 

On the 18th of August Sligo travelled to Knockmore
in Co Mayo for the third round of the Under 12 Championship. The
weather conditions were great and Knockmore club were a credit for
their friendly welcome and making the game of such importance to
the girls. However as the game started, Sligo appeared as if they
were always second to the ball leaving it to 17 mins before they
got a score on the board. But in the second half Sligo came bursting
out of their blocks and it was Mayo who had to wait 15mins before
putting a score on the board. There were numerous goal oppurtunities
for Sligo but Mayo fought well and there defence were excellent.
Sligo kept Mayo to only 3 points in the second half but it was not
enough as Mayo were the overall winners with a score line of 12
points to Sligo 6.

Sligo are now through to the Semi-finals against Galway which are
to be played this week. We wish to thank all the parents and other
people who travelled to the game to support the girls.

Yours in Sport
