Clare’s footballers were narrowly beaten by Sligo denting their chances of promotion in the National Football League.

A late flurry of scores in added time wasn’t enough for Peter Keane’s side, who fell to a 1-19 to 2-14 defeat to Sligo in Markievicz Park.

Trailing by six at the end of 70 minutes, 1-2 from the boot of Emmett McMahon had given the Banner hope of rescuing something from the game.

The hosts held on for a valuable two points to keep their fight against relegation alive.
