Antrim 0-11 Sligo 1-07
26th February 2017
CJ McGourty starred for the Saffrons as they ran out narrow 0-11 to 1-7 winners at Corrigan Park.
With the aid of the wind, Sligo led 1-5 to 0-6 at the break as Niall Murphy scored the only goal of the match.
"We came in behind at half-time but put in an excellent second-half performance," said Antrim joint-manager Gearoid Adams after the game.
"We set up really well after half-time and took the lead, but ended up levelling in injury-time and CJ McGourty knocked over a great point to win the game.
"We got a wee bit of luck with the wind favouring us in the second half but deservedly picked up the two points.
"This win will give everyone a massive lift, psychologically it is a massive boost. This is a tight division but we will fight for every point."
