Sheppard denies champions
With the Hoops trailing Sligo by a 13 points at kick off, it was imperative the Dublin Rovers opened brightly, but it was the champions who created the first chance in the second minute as Anthony Elding shot wide following an inviting low cross from Pascal Millien.
The five points dropped in two consecutive games against St Patrick’s Athletic and Drogheda United seemed not to dent Sligo’s confidence as they continued impressively, with Joseph Ndo prompting intelligently in midfield.
