Leaders bid to break record

Having dropped two points against Bray Wanderers, Sligo Rovers will be anxious to reinforce their lead in the Airtricity Premier Division when they host Derry City at the Showgrounds tonight (7.45).

Rovers are unbeaten in their last seven league games against Derry, their longest ever unbeaten run against the Candystripes, and avoiding defeat in tonight’s match would set a new club record of unbeaten league games.

“These are type of games that at the start of the season you want to bring to the club,” said manager Ian Baraclough.
