Sligo Rovers 2
Shelbourne 1
SLIGO ROVERS’ SECOND-straight win since the restart has seen them climb from the foot of the Premier Division table, this a 2-1 win at home to Shelbourne.
It took all of 30 seconds for Sligo to take the lead, with Jesse Devers heading in a Ryan De Vries cross. They scored again in the second half – albeit not as early – as David Cawley netted to double the Bit o’ Red’s advantage.
Shels pulled a goal back deep in stoppage time through Gary Deegan, but – while a thumping finish – it was too little and too late to make a dent on the result.
Gary Deegan's late goal for @shelsfc against @sligorovers was spectacular

Great article, short and sweet.
Pulling on my Puma Kings and kicking the hole off a kid in a pair of pink boots is one of the great pleasures of the sporting life.
Never throw out a pair of football boots, someday you’ll take them in your hands and remember what it was like to be young and not give a damn about anything more ninety minutes.
Puma Kings are the best. Always loved wearing them.
I wore Black adidas copa mundials as a kid, my dad got them for me as i was the only sports child. They were the best boots ever…if my old man saw me wearing anything but black boots he’d call me a Nancy boy.
I was about to reply that’s mine we’re Prada , then I noticed it was about football boots! Well I wore Gola back in the day when I played women’s soccer!! :-)
Sums up soccer very nicely indeed. Glad the proper football is back today. Earnestly hope it too doesn’t go the way of soccer.
Care to expand?
Well you’re a real barrel of laughs
