Sligo beat Waterford to move off bottom spot

Sligo Rovers 1 Waterford 0 Jessica Farry reports from The Showgrounds SLIGO ROVERS moved off the Premier Division's bottom spot thanks to a 1-0 win over Waterford at the Showgrounds on Saturday evening. The victory means John Russell's men overtake struggling Cork City. Wilson Waweru's 20th-minute goal was the difference as the Bit O'Red won just a fourth game of the season. Sligo were hoping the mid-season break would be a catalyst for their turnaround in form. Advertisement John Russell's men finished the first part of the campaign with just one win in their last eight games. Waweru made his first start since returning from injury, with Russell asking his players to reflect on their contribution to the season so far before the break. John Coleman returned to the home of his former employers for the first time since taking over as Waterford manager, with former Sligo captain Danny Ventre also making a return, this time as Waterford assistant boss. The Blues had lost just once in their last seven games, but sat eighth coming into Saturday's fixture, although 10 points clear of Cork City. In truth, the first half was lacking when it came to entertainment, and Waweru's goal was the talking point at the halfway mark. Jad Hakiki pulled it back for Waweru in a crowded box, and the Galway native held his composure fantastically to find the net with his first goal of the season. John Mahon got his head in the way of James Olayinka's effort, with Waterford only really producing half-chances. Tommy Lonergan's strong header was well held by Sargeant in the Sligo goal, while Waterford felt they should have had a penalty on 76 minutes, when the ball took a slight touch off John Mahon as he went to make a clearance. Padraig Amond poked wide as the Blues put the pressure on, but in the end, Sligo held out for what could be a vital win. Sligo Rovers: Sam Sargeant, Conor Reynolds (Kyle McDonagh, 58), Gareth McElroy, John Mahon, Reece Hutchinson, Jake Doyle-Hayes, Ronan Manning (Daire Patton, 6), Jad Hakiki (Stephen Mallon, 58), Owen Elding, Will Fitzgerald, Wilson Waweru (Francely Lomboto, 78). Waterford: Stephen McMullan, Ryan Burke, Grant Horton, Darragh Leahy, Jesse Dempsey, James Olayinka (Ben McCormack, 69), Kyle White (Sean Keane, 79), Tommy Lonergan, Sam Glenfield (Dean McMenamy, 69), Conan Noonan, Padraig Amond. Referee: Oliver Moran.

Fermanagh and Kildare reach Tailteann Cup semi-finals as Tony McEntee steps down from Sligo

Tailteann Cup Quarter-Final Results Fermanagh 0-21 Sligo 1-16 Kildare 1-17 Offaly 0-19 **** FERMANAGH AND KILDARE have booked their place in the Tailteann Cup semi-finals following respective victories over Sligo and Offaly. Advertisement The defeat for Sligo was followed by the departure of their manager Tony McEntee after four years at the helm. 'Sligo GAA this evening expressed its thanks and appreciation for the contribution over the past five years of Tony McEntee who has announced that he is standing down from his position as senior team manager,' a statement from Sligo GAA. 'The Crossmaglen native took charge of Sligo in spring 2021. He led the team on 58 occasions, making him the longest serving manager in Sligo history, winning 34 games, the highest winning percentage of any Sligo manager. Tony McEntee this evening told the @SligoGAA senior team that he is stepping down as team manager. — Sligo GAA (@sligogaa) June 14, 2025 'Sligo GAA chairman Declan Rouse thanked Tony for his commitment and contribution. 'There is a lot of good work being done throughout Sligo football and Tony has contributed hugely to that effort. 'Over the past five seasons Tony and his colleagues have built a strong culture of performance which leaves us well positioned for the future. 'He has helped us create some great memories and we believe the future is bright. We wish Tony the best in his adventure – hopefully, not against us'.' Fermanagh progressed to the last four following a two-point victory in Brewster Park, with Garvan Jones scoring four points including a two-pointer. Sligo led after the opening quarter when Niall Murphy struck for a goal to give them a 1-5 to 0-4 advantage. But Fermanagh responded strongly through points from Jones, Ryan Lyons and Conor Love to bring them back level. Further scores from Ronan McCaffrey and Darragh McGurn pushed them into a 0-14 to 1-6 lead at half-time. Sligo were back to within one after a David Quinn two-pointer but Fermanagh shifted through the gears and hit four unanswered points. Sligo fought back again as Pat Spillane landed a two-pointer and another point to cut the deficit to two at the death, but it wasn't enough as Fermangh sealed the win. A vital goal from James McGrath, and seven points from Alex Beirne, helped Kildare hold off a late Offaly rally in the other Tailteann Cup quarter-final. The Lilywhites were 1-13 to 0-9 in front with just under 25 minutes remaining, but were just four ahead with 17 minutes to go. Two two-pointers from Jordan Hayes helped bring Offaly roaring back into contention. Darragh Kirwan and Mick O'Grady responded for Kildare along with Beirne to help keep them in front. That final burst combined with McGrath's first-half goal proved to be the difference as Kildare held on for a one-point victory. Check out the latest episode of The42′s GAA Weekly podcast here

Kieran McGeeney: 'Some teams tell them to do something, I'd love that direct line'

Despite the fact that their spot in the quarter-final was already secure, Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney had cause to be unhappy on Saturday with a defeat and the latest rules update. On Saturday, it was confirmed that the Football Review Committee has proposed a rule adjustment to remove the 50-metre penalty for a foul on a player who catches a kick-out mark. Central Council will now vote on the proposal. If it is passed, the amendment will be operational for next weekend's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals and the Tailteann Cup semi-finals. 'Listen, honestly, they just seem to be able to do what they want,' said McGeeney after his side lost out by a point against Galway in Kingspan Breffni. 'Some teams tell them to do something, I'd love that direct line. Whoever has that direct line into Jim (Gavin) and Eamonn (Fitzmaurice), I would love that.' When asked if it could clean up some 'greyness' around the rule, the All-Ireland winning manager was unconvinced. 'That is what the GAA is. Everything is a foul. Everything isn't a foul. You just swing with the punches and do what you can.' Armagh took off defender Paddy Burns due to a fear he would be sent off after picking up a booking. They conceded two first-half penalties, but Ethan Rafferty saved the first and the second went over the bar. 'In this game, again because people didn't like it, if you get a man sent off, you can't really exist. Keep everybody up and not back, something like that. It is difficult. It depends. As I say, if you get a direct line you seem to be able to change them.' It is Armagh's first championship defeat in normal time since the 2023 group stages fixture against Tyrone. On their performance, McGeeney was frustrated they were unable to hold on to an eight-point half-time lead. 'I suppose we would be disappointed we gave away the ball so much. They upped the aggression stakes and the frees seemed to fall their way then. We just got caught doing silly stuff. It was annoying. We got ourselves back into a good position again, gave it away. A wee bit annoyed with the free at the end. Loads to work on.'
