Sligo’s title hopes suffer as in-form Drogs earn draw

Drogheda United 1 Sligo Rovers 1

A second-half David Cawley strike earned the Bit O’Red a point, but Drogheda had the better chances in the game and could easily have notched a fourth consecutive league win.

News of an early goal for St Pat’s in Derry increased the urgency for Sligo and they pressed for an early breakthrough, with Joseph Ndo twice going close and Daniel North foiled by a last-gasp Alan McNally challenge.
