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.

There will be a dinner on Friday week at which contemporaries from the 1977 Fitzgibbon will honour the memory of the former GAA president, who represented his college in both football and hurling. Publicity for the event includes the information that four members of that UCG side, including McDonagh himself, went on to lead their counties around Croke Park on All-Ireland final day; three of them, Conor Hayes and Pat Fleury who would also manage finalists, and Joe Connolly lifted the Liam MacCarthy. Another member of the team was Cyril Farrell, who managed Galway to back-to-back titles.
