Late Garry Buckley winner defies Drogs' comeback (Irish Examiner)

SSE Airtricity League Premier Division: Sligo Rovers 3 Drogheda United 2. GARRY Buckley's stoppage time winner earned Sligo Rovers a dramatic win against ...

But Sligo forced a series of corners and from one of these Garry Buckley lashed the ball home to ignite the home support. Sligo then had the chance to restore their two-goal cushion from a spot-kick after 35 minutes – Will Fitzgerald the player fouled – but top scorer Aidan Keena’s low effort was well-saved by Sam Long. The home side continued to threaten and Will Fitzgerald was off target with an ambitious effort from distance after Aidan Keenan charged down an attempted clearance from Drogheda goalkeeper Sam Long.

Two behind with just three minutes gone, United heads didn’t drop and Chris Lyons wasn’t far away from halving the deficit on seven minutes. The Sligo captain had his brace less than 90 seconds later from a similar position. Cawley’s neat finish from the angle was his first goal for the club in over one year.

Sligo's 92nd-minute winner settles enthralling clash against Drogheda (The42)

GARRY BUCKLEY'S 92ND-MINUTE goal earned Sligo Rovers all three points against Drogheda United at the Showgrounds on Saturday night after the Louth side came ...

In what was a blistering start to this encounter, the hosts went ahead after 57 seconds. Garry Buckley got on the end of a corner, tucking past Long to make it 3-2 in the dying moments to steal a victory for the Bit O’Red. It was all Rovers in the dying minutes as they pushed for a winner, and it arrived deep into injury time. It was all action in the first-half, and the Louth side were awarded a penalty following a foul on Ryan Brenna in the box. On 35 minutes, Liam Buckley’s side could have extended their lead as they were awarded a penalty of their own, as Fitzgerald was brought down in the box. It looked like the game was headed for a draw, before Buckley netted in injury time to record a first home win for Rovers since mid-March.
