Greene’s early double lets Rovers climb to summit

SLIGO ROVERS were in cruise control at Hunky Dorys Park as they took over top spot in the Premier Division without having to hit top gear against the hosts.

Two first-half goals from Aaron Greene put them in the driving seat, and the three points looked safe even before John Russell added a late third and Drogheda had Mark O’Brien sent off deep into stoppage time for a second bookable offence.

The Bit O’Red made a dream start after forcing a corner in exactly 60 seconds.
