New York manager Connie Molloy conceded that his team was outclassed by Sligo in last night's Connacht SFC opener.

"Naturally you are always going to be disappointed when you get a beating like that," the Donegal native said.

"We were hanging in for a while and I think the goal was a bit unfortunate, but that's championship football and you have to expect that. We learned a very hard lesson on the day."

He continued: "We had two 18-year-olds playing today and it's mindboggling to have to throw them in there, but they have to get their feet wet. The preparation is our big problem. We just don't get challenge games and we have no measuring stick to figure out where we are at, so it's tough." Tweet
