Tailteann Cup: Odhran Murdock’s extra-time penalty edges Down past 14-man Sligo at Croke Park

Down picked up where they left off with the opening two points of the second half before Sean Carabine ended a run of four Down points.

The second half had a lovely flow to it, delicately poised with both sides landing outstanding scores.

John McGovern scored a beauty from out wide for Down while half-time sub Liam Kerr was influential in the second half for the Mournemen with 0-3.

Down looked capable of scoring with every attack but Sligo were gritty with Sean Carabine, Darragh Cummins and Lee Deighnan landing booming points.

Down ‘keeper John O’Hare tipped Carabine’s shot over the bar while at the other end, Sligo ‘keeper Aidan Devanney saved his fullback Eddie McGuinness from scoring a curious own goal.

Sligo’s second goal from Canice Mulligan looked like a big score when it happened in the 56th minute.

Paul McNamara’s inviting pass across the square was met by Mulligan at the back post who palmed the ball into an empty net to put Sligo ahead 2-11 to 0-13.

But it all changed with the red card.
