Longford Town edge closer to relegation

Sligo Rovers 1 Longford Town 0: Longford Town moved closer to relegation from the top flight after losing to Sligo Rovers in a tepid fixture at The Showgrounds.

A ninth goal of the campaign from Sligo’s attacking midfielder Kieran Sadlier, who netted the game’s only goal after 13 minutes, consigned bottom of the table Longford to their 21st loss of a dire Premier Division campaign.

Sligo, beaten at home just twice all season, came into this game on the back of a superb 3-0 away win over champions Dundalk.
