Sligo looking to extend winning run at Galway

SLIGO ROVERS take a one-point lead in the Airtricity League Premier Division to Terryland Park tonight, with Galway’s ongoing woes and Sligo’s seven-game unbeaten run all seeming to point to an away victory.

However, after an unusually less than convincing 2-0 win against strugglers Drogheda United put them top last weekend, Sligo boss Paul Cook is anxious that everyone at the Showgrounds takes each game as it comes.

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” he says. “It’s great to be top of the league but the season still has a long way to run and there are six or seven teams in with a chance of winning the title. We’ve got to keep our feet on the ground. Yes, we’re playing well and the results have been good but we’re not getting carried away with ourselves.”
