It was more straightforward and less nervy for Sligo, who earned a convincing 3-14 to 0-12 win over Leitrim this evening.

However, they got off to a slow start and trailed 0-10 to 0-6 at the break.

An impressive second-half performance encompassing goals from Eamonn O’Mahony, Conor Walsh and Cillian Duggan saw them over the line to win the 2023 Connacht Minor Shield.

Next week’s final between Mayo and Galway takes place in Tuam on Friday at 7pm.
