Peers delivers as Sligo book final spot

Bohemians 0 Sligo Rovers 1

Two of the form teams in the Airtricity Premier Division, both Bohs and Sligo came into the game on the hunt for multiple silverware. Rovers already have the League Cup in the bag while Bohemians, with the Setanta Cup secure, were eyeing up a league and cup double which had appeared improbable until they sensationally overtook Shamrock Rovers at the top last week.

From the off, it was clear that two of the best footballing sides in the country would endeavour to prevail by playing to their strengths. Bohs dominated the early stages, some superb passing moves lacking only a sufficiently precise final ball. But it was Sligo who produced the first big chance of the game, Matthew Blinkhorn’s perfect angled ball over the top outwitting left-back Conor Powell and putting Romauld Boco in on goal.
