League of Ireland round-up: Shelbourne end Sligo's unbeaten run (The Irish Times)

Sligo Rovers' unbeaten start to the season ended with a home defeat to a spirited Shelbourne at the Showgrounds. Daniel Carr's 33rd minute penalty separated the ...

Rovers had a massive scare in the 11th minute. Unfortunately we were unable to process your last payment. Mark Connolly’s fizzed pass into Hoban was flicked around the corner by the striker with Kelly racing onto it to round Healy and slot home. Please choose a screen name. This name will appear beside any comments you post. But Rovers snatched the lead in the third minute of stoppage time at the end of the half with Andy Lyons rising above the home defence to nod home a near-post header from a corner. Rovers, who came from behind to take a point in a 2-2 draw with Sligo Rovers last time out, came to the northwest knowing they could ill-afford a slip-up against a side expected to be in the relegation quagmire come the end of the campaign. And Graham Burke added a third late on for the Hoops who go second in the table. The impressive Rooney played a sublime diagonal pass to put Weir in one-on-one on the left. Drogheda winger Rooney was alert to collect the loose ball and blast it into the roof of the net for his first goal of the season. And while Doherty had the option of joining Clancy to continue as his assistant, the Dubliner opted to take full charge at Head in The Game Park. Sligo Rovers’ unbeaten start to the season ended with a home defeat to a spirited Shelbourne at the Showgrounds.
