O’Kelly-Lynch on fire

SLIGO 3-13 FERMANAGH 0-15

A LATE change of venue to Lisbellaw didn’t distract Sligo as they overcame Fermanagh yesterday.

First-half goals from Tony O’Kelly-Lynch and Kevin Gilmartin had the Yeats men ahead 2-4 to 0-9 at the break. The free-taking of Shea Curran and John Duffy was chief ly responsible for the home side’s scoring.

A second goal from full-forward O’Kelly-Lynch midway through the second-half had the Yeats men in a commanding position.

Kevin Banks also scored four points from play in the second-half, as Sligo piled on the misery on the winless Erne men.
