Declan Loughnane lined out in goal for the Sligo hurlers on Saturday just days after vacating the manager's post.

The Offaly native kept a clean sheet as Sligo opened their Lory Meagher Cup campaign with a 4-14 to 0-17 victory over Lancashire in Markievicz Park with Kevin Gilmartin helping himself to a hat-trick of goals.

The managerless Yeats County will travel to Birmingham to face Warwickshire in the second round next weekend.
