The U20 Connacht Football Championship was blown wide open last night after two thrilling games in Ballinamore and Tuam.
Champions Sligo were beaten by Galway, in a repeat of last year's final, by 2-16 - 2-12.
Sligo took the advantage in the early stages with a 0-04 - 0-02 lead, and strengthened that lead with a Conor Walsh goal after Galway had initally drawn level.
Galway then scored 1-05 without reply, and saw out the half with a 1-11 -1-06 lead.
The Tribesmen built on that with a further 1-01 in the second half.
Ronan Niland added a goal as Sligo pulled 1-02 back, but couldn't do enough as Galway held on for their second win of the campaign.
Manager Paul Henry spoke to reporter Kevin Egan after the game.
Elsewhere, goals from Ben Guckian, Jack Casey and Paul Moran led Leitrim to victory, with a 3-12 - 0-15 win over Mayo in Ballinamore.
Paul Honeyman top scored for Leitrim with 0-09, with Leitrim taking a foothold in the game after Guckian's first half goal saw them lead 1-06 - 0-08 at the break.
Quick-fire goals from Casey and Moran in the second half, as well as crucial scores from Honeyman and Barry McNulty, saw Leitrim close out a well-earned win.
