Sligo looking to extend lead

With Drogheda United contesting the EA Sports Cup final tomorrow, Sligo Rovers will seek to take advantage in the Airtricity League tonight by extending their lead at the top of the Premier Division to nine points when they take on Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds (kick off 7.05pm, live on RTÉ 2).

Sligo go into the game boosted by the news that Mark Quigley has been named the Airtricity/Soccer Writers Association of Ireland Player of the Month for August.

“Obviously, it is a team game,” the striker reflects, “but it’s nice to pick up individual awards as it shows that you have been doing well. But the main thing that I want to win is the League, which would be great for this team.
