Improving Sligo Rovers still without win

St Patrick’s Athletic 1 Sligo Rovers 1: Brendan Clarke kept St Patrick’s in the match at one end before Christy Fagan worked the oracle at the other once again to deprive Sligo Rovers of a first win of the season.

This fully deserved point for Dave Robertson’s side does lift Sligo off the foot of the table, overnight at least, on goal difference.

But in truth this performance by the westerners should have brought that elusive first victory as St Pat’s struggled once again at home.
