SHAMROCK ROVERS BOOKED their place in the EA Sports Cup finale tonight thanks to a 3-2 win over Sligo Rovers.

The Hoops will face Drogheda in a repeat of last year’s decider on 21 September.

Kieran Djilali opened the scoring for the visitors after a minute before Karl Shephard and Gary McCabe sent the home side ahead at the interval.
