Harps MU15s travelled to Sligo in the EA Sports Michael Hayes MU15 Cup First Round and it took extra time and penalties to separate the sides.  Temple Akpo pulled Harps level following an early Sligo goal, and on the hour an own goal put Harps in front.  Sligo pulled it back and the game ended up going all the way to penalties with the hosts squeaking through 5-4.
