Pat Spillane Jnr, son of Kerry legend Pat, lines out for Sligo.

Sligo ran riot to rack up an impressive 0-28 to 0-5 win against Carlow at Markievicz Park, while Cavan and London also made it two wins from as many outings in the Allianz Football League Division 4 campaign.

Niall Murphy kicked 0-9 of the Yeats County's total, and along with Luke Towey, Sean Carrabine and Pat Spillane, son of Kerry legend Pat, they pulled the strings as Tony McEntee's side opened up a 0-8 to 0-5 lead by half-time.

At Kingspan Breffni, Cavan justified their favourites tag by beating Wexford 0-17 to 1-8, with the returning Gearoid McKiernan helping himself to 0-5. John Tubritt came off the bench to score 1-3 for the visitors, who trailed 0-12 to 0-3 at half-time.

Having come from ten points down to beat Carlow last week, Michael Maher's London overturned a five-point half-time deficit to see off Waterford by 1-12 to 2-8 at Ruislip.

Meanwhile, Andy Moran registered his first competitive win in charge of Leitrim as they defeated Tipperary 2-16 to 2-8 at Semple Stadium.
