Sligo selector Noel McGuire says that their escape from New York last year will stand to them in tomorrow’s Connacht semi-final.
On an extremely hectic weekend of inter-county activity, there’s little doubt as to what the most novel fixture is as the exiles look to surf the momentum from their historic penalty shootout win over Leitrim and reach a provincial final for the first time.
When the two sides met in the Bronx last year, they were level in the closing minutes before Sligo kicked the last four points for a 1-16 to 0-15 victory and McGuire notes how New York have retained the bulk of that team and added some quality to it in the meantime.
