Carr goal gives Shamrock Rovers points in dour affair

Shamrock Rovers 1 Sligo Rovers 0... Dan Carr scored the only goal of a dour game at Tallaght Stadium to get Shamrock Rovers back to winning ways.

A fourth straight home victory stretches the Hoops’ unbeaten league run in Dublin 24 to nine games as they remain fourth in the Premier Division.

Though the home side dominated possession from the off they struggled to bother Micheal Schlingermann in the Sligo goal, the only note in the opening quarter a yellow card for visiting skipper Kyle Callan-McFadden for a foul on Kavanagh 16 minutes in.
