The Bank of Ireland Connacht Senior League continued on Saturday afternoon with two local derbies.
Ballina welcomed Sligo, while Corinthians travelled into Galway City to face Galwegians.
In a high scoring affair, Sligo proved to have too much for the young Ballina side, running out 45-26 victors. However, it wasn't until the second half that Sligo's strength in depth proved to be too much for the team from Mayo.
The sides went into the break with just three between them, with Sligo leading by 21-24. However, Ballina weren't able to add to their tally until the closing stages as their counterparts raced into an unassailable 21-45 lead.
The weekend's other Connacht Senior League game was a low scoring affair between two Galway sides, where it was Galwegians who made it two wins from two, running out 12-7 victors.
The home side built up a 12-0 lead, with Corinthians getting a late consolation try.
Those results left both Galwegians and Sligo with two wins on the board.
Buccaneers has earned one point in their sole outing so far, while both Ballina and Corinthians have one point on the board, with the latter having played a game more.
There are no Connacht Senior League fixtures next week, with Ballina welcoming Buccaneers and Sligo hosting Galwegians, the week after.
