BOHEMIANS ENDED A turbulent season with a 3-1 win at home to Sligo Rovers.
A hugely underwhelming run of results saw the long-serving Keith Long dismissed during the season, with former Derry City boss Declan Devine appointed in time for the final few games of the season following a protracted managerial search. Devine has now seen his side sign-off the 2022 season with a 3-1 win over a Sligo Rovers side whom they have finished one place and three points behind.
An Éanna Clancy own goal gave Bohs the lead just before half-time, to which defender Rory Feely added four minutes after the break. James Clarke made it 3-0 just after the hour mark, with Aidan Keena, the league’s top scorer, scoring a late consolation for Sligo.
