The Corofin man, who was recently crowned club footballer of the year, went down injured after 15 minutes, and his suspected dislocated shoulder concerned the Galway manager. Galway wrestled control of possession although they didn’t score again until the 18th minute. Silke was set up after a pass from Heaney and the Galway wing-forward reacted quickest when Michael Daly’s shot came back off the post for the killer second. GALWAY:B Power; E Kerin, SA Ó Ceallaigh, L Silke; K Molloy, G Bradshaw, J Daly; T Flynn, F Ó Curraoin; S Walsh, M Daly, J Heaney; A Ó Laoi, I Burke, D Cummins. SLIGO:E Kilgannon; P Laffey, Michael Gordon, P McNamara; A McIntyre, D Cummins, N Mullen; G O’Kelly-Lynch, P Kilcoyne; K Cawley, P O’Connor, Mikey Gordon; S Carrabine, P Hughes, N Murphy.
