Onnell admits loss disappointing

nt after Galway, we were y disappointed with our formance that day and wanted to come out d show what we were de of. It was difficult to roup after Galway but boys knuckled down d we were prepared for ay but you know it is just lly disappointing. “There was always that ee points in it and we uld never claw back and could never get near m. The ball just fell their y and when your team n top everything seems to fall their way and they pushed on. It’s just a bit disappointing now for us,” the captain added.

He praised teammate Gerard O’Kelly-Lynch for playing both the hurling final and the Armagh game on the same day. Fair play to him the guy has some engine on him and you know he’s delighted to come down as well, I don’t think he even had a shower after the first game. Fair play to him and he did a good job when he came in today.” The Castleconnor man said it was a big year for him as captain of Sligo. “It was an absolute honour, I suppose disappointing in the way it finished up but definitely a personal honour and was delighted to have it. I think with the young players coming through this year is a good sign that we are building, there’s a good mix there of youth and experience and maybe we can blood a few more and in the coming years we can start bringing Sligo football forward again,” Kevin added.
