Mayo's Peadar Gardiner, Alan Dillon and Ronan Rochford inspired NUI Galway to an impressive victory in Ballinode.... Jason Doherty smacked another goal attempt off an upright, but managed to point the rebound. Paul Garvey's pointed free at the other end kept it tight, but Keating's red card a minute later cost IT Sligo dearly, with Fiacra Deasmhunhaigh and Doherty claiming goals inside the 10 minutes that followed.
