ENDA SMITH LED the way as Roscommon secured victory which sets them up for a key Sam Maguire clash with Kildare in the final round of games in the pool.
Sligo opted to play with the breeze in the opening half but failed to score from play until eight minutes from the break and turned around trailing by 0-8 to 0-6 at the end of an opening half where both sides were wasteful. Enda Smith and Diarmuid Murtagh posed the biggest threat for Roscommon and looked dangerous when they moved the battle with pace into attack, with Ben O’Carroll looking sharp at full-forward.
Smith, Murtagh and O’Carroll pushed that lead out to 0-7 to 0-3 after 25 minutes before Carrbine finally got Sligo’s first point from play, quickly followed by a brace from Alan Reilly after debutant Colin Walsh had hit the target for Roscommon.The quality of the contest improved immeasurably after the restart, helped in turn by much sharper shooting from both sides.
