Cork City and Sligo bid to get back on track

THE test at the Showgrounds this evening will be to see who are the quickest healers, as Sligo Rovers host Cork City in the Premier Division of the League of Ireland (kick-off 7.45pm).

Both clubs are licking their wounds after painful reversals in their last games, with Sligo’s woes accentuated by their long journey home after bowing out of the Europa League in Albania on Thursday night.

Unlucky to be 2-1 down to Vllaznia Shkoder after the first leg, Sligo scarcely enjoyed the breaks in the away game despite coming back from a goal down to draw 1-1 through an Alan Keane strike, losing the tie 3-2 on aggregate.
