Sligo apologise to Glens for bus vandals

The organising committee of the Setanta Sports Cup are confident the incident which marred Sligo Rovers’ 2-0 quarter-final defeat of Glentoran at the Showgrounds was a rarity and unlikely to be repeated.

Sligo Rovers confirmed yesterday a visiting Glentoran bus was broken into, a handbag was stolen and human excrement left inside.

“We understand that this regrettable incident took place at the Showgrounds and we would expect the initial investigations to take place by Sligo Rovers FC,” said Milo Corcoran, chairman of the Setanta Sports Cup organising committee.
