Mayo 1-10Sligo 0-11Jason Doherty hit the key goal for Mayo nine minutes into the second half as Stephen Rochford’s side warmed up for their national league campaign with victory in Ballina. Well in control at the interval, Mayo began the second half slowly, and Cathal Corey’s Sligo began to find their feet. Coen kept Sligo in the shake-up with another point, but frees from Doherty and Regan saw Mayo across the line.
