As good a draw as we could have got given the circumstances. Wouldn't have fancied going to too many places on the road. An opportunity to make amends for the Leitrim performance at home against Tipp.

A home draw against a Div 4 team has to be viewed as a good draw. Unfortunately a few weeks ago we also had a home draw against a Div 4 team and that didn't go well.
Towey, Mulligan, Lee Deignan, and MC Loughlin are assured of starting leaving the other 11 jerseys up for grabs . There won't be 11 changes but all through the league and again last month against Leitrim there was a lot of players not up to the standard

Hard luck to your U17s. Shooting badly let you down tonight, you won't win many knock out Connacht championship games with just 0-12 (10 scores with you count the two pointers) from 30 shots on goal

No point in sugar coating it or saying that these are only young lads and that their day will come. The game was there to be won against a poor Galway team. Our shooting was shocking, and despite all the wides and mis placed ball we also blew 2 goal chances in quick succession. It was a very disappointing finish for these lads who definitely kept their worse performance for tonight

Leitrim are a division 4 team in name only, we should be operating at a much higher level, we had Galway panicking and they are division 1 so perhaps that is our true level.

The Tailteann Cup is a great opportunity for counties like Sligo to go a couple rounds into ia competition, we would have our sights set higher however with the quality within our panel.

Good effort from sligo u17s this evening. Danny feeney ryan lang and jack kelly led the scoring but galway were sharper in front of the goals. Feeney and lang are ones to watch for the future
