Very very sweet victory yesterday evening. Roscommon should have us buried by half time but they didn't because they were not good enough. We hung on, got a penalty from a reckless foul on Jack Davitt, scored 2 more points to go level but lost our wing forward with injury. At Half time we were definitely the happier camp. Terrific second half with storming performances from Keaney, Lavin, Walsh, Smith and Mulligan. Mc Gowan also did well when he came on. Roll on next week where we will be underdogs again.

It was a truly awful error ridden game of football neither team could tackle and score rate was something like 40% for Roscommon and maybe 50% for Sligo when wides and dropped balls to keepers hands taken into account. OhtobeARossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 1755 - 14/04/2022 13:05:33 2410978 Link 0 |
Well done Sligo. I watched on TG4 and your lads were well worth the win. Roscommon for all their possession out the field weren't accurate enough when it came to shooting. Rossieforever (Roscommon) - Posts: 83 - 14/04/2022 15:00:37 2411007 Link 0 |
It's totally wrong that a venue that holds just 500 in a seating capacity is allowed to stage this final. And it should be in Sligo as the last U20 meeting between the two was in Castlebar. Best of luck to Sligo in the final. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 14/04/2022 15:19:16 2411013 Link 0 |
I see Sligo GAA released a statement saying they've complained about the venue selection but were ignored by Connacht Council. If so it's very disappointing given that the President is a Tubbercurry man, you'd think he'd have some ability to get a response at least. Not the first time our underage lads have been hard done over venues. Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 342 - 16/04/2022 16:53:45 2411121 Link 0 |
If that's true, it's disgraceful. What is the argument for the game being played in Bekan, if it should be a home game for Sligo? This competition has already had a questionable decision by letting the Galway-Mayo game go ahead in unplayable conditions. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2018 - 16/04/2022 17:24:17 2411129 Link 1 |
From a Leitrim man I say well done to Sligo gaa sticking up for themselves on this venue nonsense. And indeed they shouldn't show up if it isn't changed.

Yes we've all taken plenty from Prenty. Sligo are absolutely right here.

Fair enough about Bekan but on what basis are Sligo due home advantage? Should this game not be on neutral ground? Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 831 - 16/04/2022 19:58:36 2411189 Link 0 |
All Connacht games are played on an alternating home-away basis. This includes Connacht finals. The last time Sligo played Mayo at this level, it was in Mayo. This game should be in Sligo. Full stop.

I fully support our County Board and so does everyone. They have handled this brilliantly. Dead right to release the statement when Prenty won't even acknowledge us. Sligonian (Sligo) - Posts: 1616 - 16/04/2022 20:15:23 2411200 Link 0 |
The game is refixed for 6pm in Markievicz on Wednesday. Sligonian (Sligo) - Posts: 1616 - 16/04/2022 20:35:21 2411211 Link 1 |

About time someone stood up and refused to back down on the daft decision by the Connacht GAA. And to think a few Mayo heads over on the Galway thread was trying to convince me and themselves that the Connacht GAA Centre is a fine venue for these U20 games.

That's fair enough, I didn't know the protocol here. Fair due to Sligo for standing their ground and I see the game has been rescheduled. Good to see Prenty's wings being clipped for a change...

The ultimatum worked which is proper order so well done for sticking it to Connacht Council, but it's bizzare that it came to it. The Connacht Council aren't some external outside body Sligo have people on it too and likes of Leitrim and Ros should take note for future dealings to keep eyes open!

Well done on completely missing the point. I said the COE was fine for the Mayo v Galway game since it was due to be a Mayo venue and MacHale park was unavailable at the time. Unfortunately the weather ruined that particular game. This is different as Sligo are due a home game vs Mayo. Thankfully the correct decision has been reached eventually!
