Old boys return to haunt Sligo as Dundalk clinch victory

DARREN MANSARAM, Liam Burns and Chris Turner returned to haunt their former club as Dundalk beat Sligo Rovers 3-1 in the League of Ireland Premier Division at The Showgrounds on Saturday night.

Striker Mansaram claimed the plaudits for Dundalk’s first goal on 38 minutes, which came about following a terrible mix-up in the Rovers defence.

Burns doubled the lead on 64 minutes when he headed Harpal Singh’s cross past Richard Brush, and Turner then slid home the third after latching onto Mansaram’s pass.
