Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat

In front of a big crowd, Westmeath swooped for a late, late winner in TEG Cusack Park as they pipped Sligo, 2-14 to 1-16, in the first round of the National Football League (Division 3). Substitute Shane Corcoran was the hero with a point in the fourth minute of added time.
