Pre-match
Roscommon played Sligo in the 1962 Connacht SFC final and were behind for much of the match. Sligo were blighted by a sudden string of injuries, missed a '50 while two points ahead in the final minute, and then gifted soon-to-be All-Ireland SFC finalists Roscommon a goal, allowing them to progress at Sligo's expense in what newspaper columnist Eamonn Sweeney described as "one of the great football tragedies in Connacht".Eamonn Sweeney http://www.independent.ie/sport/other-sports/about-time-lady-luck-gave-sligo-the-time-of-day-995360.html About time Lady Luck gave Sligo the time of day Sunday Independent Independent News & Media 8 July 2007 8 July 2007
