Hughes pounces to fire high-flying Rovers past rudderless Bohs

SLIGO ROVERS climbed into fourth place in the eircom Premier Division as Adam Hughes fired their winner at the Showgrounds on Saturday night.

Paul McTiernan won a free-kick off Thomas Heary on the edge of the Bohemians box with five minutes to play.

Winger Harpal Singh, who had scored both goals in last week’s 2-0 win at Longford, fired a free kick which was parried by Bohs keeper Stephen O’Brien. Midfielder Hughes followed up to tap the ball into the net to give Rovers a third win of the season over managerless Bohs.
