Sligo manager Pat Flanagan admits that facing Cork in the qualifiers will be a 'step up' for them.

Wins over Wicklow and Limerick have seen Sligo put a run together in the qualifiers, but they take on their toughest tes to date when they play the Rebels at Tullamore on Saturday week.

A place in the quarterfinal is on offer for the winner and Flanagan told the Sligo Champion that there was plenty to work on before the next game.

"It's a step up. I thought we deserved to win against Limerick and now we face a different challenge," said Flanagan. He added about the amount of wides kicked in the last game: "It's something we need to work on.

"But I would be more concerned if we didn't create the chances in the first place. It is an interesting challenge. It's something we needed to see exactly where we are at. I have no fears playing Cork. We want to play to the best of our ability." Tweet
