Good start for Sligo 1-2 to 0-2 ahead after 15 minutes

Great second goal by Sligo. This feels the exact same as last year's Connacht final against Roscommon. Sligo playing way smarter football. Maybe Sheridan's tactics will bore Sligo to sleep??

[Blowitupref]

Half time Sligo 2-3 Mayo 0-8. Nothing between these sides as the scoreline suggests.

45 mins played Mayo with a slender lead 0-10 to 2-3

Congratulations to Sligo some second half Sligo 4-4 Mayo 1-12

I don't know how we won that but I don't give a shyte as long as we did.

We played better with 14 men but we looked terrible for 25 minutes of the second half.  This is the first time we have won Connacht at U20 (or U21)  so we'll take the win but there is a lot of work to do.  Some poor passing, running into tackles, bad shot decisions etc but we will worry about that tomorrow - today is all about history.

Up Sligo

Well done to Sligo.

[Crete Boom]

Well done Sligo, better team won. Tightened up in the second half but weathered the storm and looked more dangerous throughout the game. Feel sorry for the Mayo lads and we have some fine players coming through but the tactics and team selection have been baffling for this season and last season so we can't complain about the returns on the field.
Great chance for Sligo to go on a historic run at the big one now!!

Sligo Football is nuts but beautiful at times. How do you even begin to explain what happened 2nd half.

The win is all that matters. Congrats.

Backed up last year's minor Connacht title. These lads are winners and something is brewing in Sligo football.

[Cunny Funt]

Some drama in the final quarter of the final. Mayo 5 ahead and a man advantage but Sligo somehow managed to pull the win and first ever U20/21 title in ten final attempts out of the bag.

Congrats to Sligo

Well done to Sligo. Only saw second half, to their credit they seemed way more intent on trying to score when they had the ball than Mayo did.

Bollocks, must be watching the highlights here, now I know who won.

[Wildweasel74]

Bad mistake by keeper for Sligo 3rd goal.

[Wildweasel74]

Ah, if the 3rd one was bad, am saying nothing about the 4th.

[Wildweasel74]

Haven't been in Sligo since drawing with Sligo in Div 3 a few yrs bck, some view of, Ben Bulben from that side of the field

[Rossfan]

Well done Sligo.
Nice to see our nicest Connacht neighbours winning it.
