Sligo host hungry Hoops

IT’S a replay of the FAI Cup final this evening when Sligo Rovers host Shamrock Rovers in the Airtricity League Premier Division at the Showgrounds (7.45).

Sligo have a full squad to choose from while, for the Hoops, Stephen O’Donnell is suspended and Craig Sives is a doubt with a hamstring problem.

Sligo defender Gavin Peers is looking forward to the visit of the champions, at whose expense Sligo won the cup. “Shamrock Rovers are the biggest challenge really,” he says. “Gary Twigg is probably the most prolific striker in the league so I’m looking forward to it.”
