Manager hopes Sligo can stay on course for glory

Airtricity Premier Division leaders Sligo Rovers, bidding for a first league success since 1978, can keep on course for the title by collecting another vital three points in tonight’s clash with Shelbourne at Tolka Park (8 pm).

Manager Ian Baraclough will be hoping to build on last Monday’s 1-1 draw with Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium and is happy to have David Cawley back after a one-match ban.

“Between now and the end of the season, every player must raise his game as each of these last 11 games will be a huge test of character,” said Baraclough.
