Elding fairytale a nightmare for wronged Drogs

Anthony Elding said he couldn’t have written the script better as his dream ending to the season saw him win the FAI Ford Cup for Sligo Rovers.

The club’s 31-year-old top scorer was somewhat surprisingly given a start ahead of Danny North. Though in some additional fairytale script writing, North came off the bench, scored twice and provided the assist for Elding’s winner to finish man of the match.

“It’s fantastic. It’ssomething that I’ve dreamt about and to do it in that fashion is phenomenal,” said Elding. “To do it at our end in front of our supporters is first class, I don’t think you could have written a script like that.”
