Bogey Bohs test for Sligo

SLIGO ROVERS know they need to end their recent poor form against Bohemians to keep their Premier Division title challenge on course at the Showgrounds this evening (7.45pm), the Gypsies having only lost once to the Bit O’Red in the league since Pat Fenlon became manager in 2008.

For the home side, Alan Keane is a huge doubt with a thigh injury and Danny Ventre is suspended after being sent off during last week’s 1-1 draw against Dundalk in Oriel Park.

Goalkeeper Chris O’Connor is out for Bohemians with the injury he received in their last match against Sligo.

Meanwhile, in the Airtricity First Division this evening, Longford Town are at home to leaders Shelbourne (7.30pm), Salthill Devon play host to a local derby against Mervue United (7pm) and Finn Harps welcome promotion-chasing Limerick (8pm).
