O’Connor snatches point for Saints

Super sub Sean O’Connor saved St Pat’s blushes with a 71st-minute equaliser in a gripping game at the Showgrounds last night.

O’Connor, sprung from the bench after 58 minutes, made no mistake when it looked as if Rovers might send the visitors to their first defeat.

St Pats controlled the opening minutes of the first half, as Sligo made heavy weather of securing possession.
