Sligo trounce Tipp in Tailteann Cup

Sligo racked up another high-scoring victory in gaelic football's Tailteann Cup on Saturday with a 3-22 to 1-12 success over Tipperary at Semple Stadium.

Two first-half goals in a three-minute spell were pivotal scores in a match which Sligo controlled from start to finish.

Team captain Niall Murphy (pictured) supplied 2-6 - and despite being reduced to 14 players midway through the second-half, Sligo were unfazed by being a man down.

With two wins from two, Sligo can already look forward to the knockout stages of the Tailteann.
