WATCH: Offaly sub thinks quickly to slow down late Sligo kick-out with game on the line

Offaly avoided relegation by a single point on Sunday as they secured a one point win over Sligo. 

Four minutes into injury-time, Mark Abbott pointed to put Offaly in front and as Sligo tried to take a quick kick-out, this happened.
