Sligo skipper Ryan wary of final shock from Shels

SKIPPER Richie Ryan knows complacency is Sligo Rovers’ worst enemy as they bid to retain their FAI Ford Cup against Shelbourne at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday.

And having been in this very same scenario — playing a newly-promoted First Division side — two years ago, Ryan speaks from bitter experience.

In the 2009 decider at Tallaght, Sligo led 1-0 with five minutes to go but lost to Sporting Fingal.
