There were equine stars a-plenty at last Sunday’s Clonmel Show, from the Garda mounted unit (on show alongside the armed response unit and the sniffer dogs), to the donkey derby, and Grand Prix showjumping (won by rider Micheal Pender).

Sligo Rovers maintained their four-point lead at the top of the Premier Division but not before overcoming a major scare against strugglers Dundalk at Oriel Park last night.

Goals in either half from Ronan McEvoy and Peter McMahon helped Bohemians see off the challenge of Dundalk at Oriel Park last night as the Phibsboro men got back to winning ways.

Dundalk stunned Derry City at the Brandywell last night, the Lilywhites recording their first win on the road since last June.
