Gaelic Park 3pm local time: New York v Sligo

There are plenty of new faces in New York's team to face Sligo in the Senior Football Championship at the weekend.

Only six players survive from the starting XV which played against Roscommon last May - goalkeeper Chris Greene, James Mitchell, Ken O'Connor, and forwards Robbie Moran, Vinny Gavin and Mark Dobbin.

Moran was a doubt for the game but has overcome a wrist injury to make the final 15, while Dan Doona's shoulder problem could restrict any part he's likely to play in the match from the bench.

NEW YORK: C Greene; A Glacken, D Riney, A Foley, M Mitchell, J Mitchell, A Power; K O'Connor, S Russell; S Mullaney, R Moran (captain), V Gavin; R Garvey, K Lilly, M Dobbin.

Sligo have made just one change to their starting XV for Sunday's Bank of Ireland Connacht SFC preliminary round clash with New York at Gaelic Park.

Talismanic midfielder Eamonn O'Hara comes into the Yeats County side in place of the injured Tony Taylor.

The up-and-coming centerfielder is ruled out for the year with a long-term knee injury.

Otherwise, manager Tommy Brehony has been able to select from a fully fit panel ahead of the clash with the Exiles (throw-in 8pm Irish time, 3pm local time).

O'Hara's introduction is the only change in personnel from the side that defeated Wicklow 0-17 to 1-10 at Aughrim in the final regulation round of this year's Allianz National Football League Division 2B.

Leading marksman Mark Brehony will again start at centre forward after notching 0-6 against the Garden County.

The Yeats County panel trained on the new synthetic surface at Gaelic Park on Friday night and will have another session on Saturday evening in preparation for the Connacht opener.

SLIGO: P Greene; C Harrison, N McGuire (Capt), R Donavan; P McGovern, M McNamara, J Davey; E O'Hara, K Quinn; B Curran, M Brehony, S Davey; D Kelly, P Gallagher, G McGowan.

[The Bottom Brick]

See The Sunday Tribune tipped NYC today, what an insult to Sligo...

[Owenmoresider]

2-18 to 1-3, a stroll in the (Gaelic) Park it appears from the wireless. O'Hara goaled inside the first minute and the game took its course from there. Seems like a solid all-round display by the team, though the Ros will be an entirely tougher test. Mad to think that any of the papers would have tipped NY, but there you go. Good to see the p***k McStay is as fond of Sligo as ever too.

What RTE's site has up on the game at present:

Sligo overcame the potential banana-skin of New York with an emphatic 2-18 to 1-03 victory in the opening round of the Connacht Senior Football Championship on the synthetic playing surface of the Bronx's Gaelic Park.

The Yeats men got off to a dream start when talisman Eamon O'Hara opened the scoring with a well taken goal after just ten seconds.

Kieran Quinn punched a second goal as the visitors extended their lead, while Kieran Garvey's second half goal was little consolation for New York, who were always playing second fiddle to a rampant Sligo.
