Leaders Sligo held by Mahon’s Saints

SLIGO ROVERS moved two points clear in the Airtricity Premier League following a scoreless draw at the Showgrounds.

Neither side created clear-cut chances in the first half with only Joseph Ndo providing the entertainment with some excellent skill, twisting and turning his way around Shane McFaul and Dave Mulcahy. Soon after, he kept the crowd cheerful with a fantastic back heel flick.

Sligo’s first real chance came when Ndo released Alan Kirby down the left who crossed for Matthew Blinkhorn only for Gary Rogers to nick it away.
