Sligo manager Paul Taylor was happy with his side’s first competitive game under his watch, despite losing to Roscommon.

The sides clashed in the FBD League last Sunday with the Rossies coming out on top by 2-18 to 1-16, but Taylor feels that there were plenty of positives to take from the game.

“We are happy with the effort the lads put in, I have to say that, the way they applied themselves and we came here to win the game and we didn’t win, but we will take the positives from it,” Taylor told the Sligo Champion.

“One of the negatives from the game was that we were slow to start. I thought it took us ten minutes to get into the game and that was ten minutes wasted. We had a good breeze at our backs but you know when the boys did decide to start working and start doing what we were telling them to do they put in a huge effort and I have to compliment them for that for the effort that they put in,” said Taylor.

“A lot of the lads that did not get games and the rest of the panel are putting in a good effort at the moment. We are happy with how things are going, we have a lot of work to do, we have the national league starting in two weeks and we have a hard tough Division 3 campaign in front of us but we will take the positives from the Roscommon game and we will take every performance as it comes and look forward to the league.”
