At the moment we have Paddy O Connor Nathan Mullen Evan Lyons Luke Towey Canice Mulligan Eddie MC Guinness Rossa Sloyane Evan Lyons . I may have missed another one or 2 players but I think the above named players would be all on the starting 15. That's over half a team missing. Waterford away isn't the worst draw but we lost down there before. What's so disappointing is we seem to have no plan apart from bringing on Spillane and Quinn hoping for a few 2 pointers. There are not many leaders showing up. Morale is on the ground. It's so disappointing eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2439 - 12/05/2026 12:28:25 2672568 Link

Hopefully ourselves and yourselves can go hammer and tongs at Connacht next year, the quality is very poor at the minute so I would be very confident.

Cummins also missed games through injury last year under previous regime onthefortyfive (Sligo) - Posts: 54 - 13/05/2026 09:06:55 2672716 Link

Point stands we have a lot of injuries and a small county cant with stand that. Disappointing year for all involved. westvoice (Sligo) - Posts: 94 - 13/05/2026 10:37:44 2672739 Link

You name 3 teams that are favourites for Div 1 and 3 more that may get relegated. You are giving your self a lot of wiggle room. In Div 2 you have 3 favourites to win and actually 4 for relegation. Easkey have only 2 games played but you can remove them from relegation became they are not going to go down. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2439 - 16/05/2026 12:44:17 2673286 Link
Only 2 rounds of the league gone and some teams have definitely focused on getting points on the board early before all players return from Co duty . Gaels have no point and it's unlikely that will change next week either when Harps come calling but they will pick up enough in later games. Ballymote,Tubber and Tourlestrane are the other pointless teams. Ballymote host Tubber and the winner of that game will give themselves a great opportunity to move up the table. Coolera and Drumcliffe have a game won each while the remaining 4 teams have max points. The lightening start by Curry after all their league and championship woes has really been the standout. In Div 2 Harp's and Molaise are struggling with playing numbers for this level. Both teams have strong representation on Sligo panels and It would appear that it will be straight back down again for them. If Coolaney hope to come back to Div 1 then they can't afford to drop many more points. They were well beaten the last day and have one of their easier games played in the game they won. Cloonacool will survive which is brilliant for a small club and Geevagh have had 2 fantastic win. John Hughes will have them back in the mixer for promotion Taypot (Sligo) - Posts: 265 - 19/05/2026 15:13:38 2674163 Link
