Sligo women’s gaelic footballers are through to the TG4 All-Ireland junior football semi-finals following Sunday’s 1-11 to 2-7 win over Limerick at Gerald Griffin’s GAA Club.<\/p>\n
It should have been more comfortable for Sligo than it was.<\/p>\n
They led by eight points in the second half and looked set for victory – until Limerick came with a late rally which narrowed the Sligo lead to a single point.<\/p>\n
But Sligo held on – and they now prepare for an All-Ireland semi-final against Group A winners Antrim on July 12th.<\/p>\n
It will be repeat of last year’s All-Ireland semi-final which Antrim won by six points (3-10 to 1-10).<\/p>\n
