Mansarem double seals Sligo win

Sligo Rovers 3 Longford Town 1

Sligo blitzed Longford to move three places up into the top half of the table.

Darren Mansarem was Rovers’ star man with goals early in each half as the home fans were given a timely treat ahead of the summer break.

The big Englishman struck after just two minutes to volley home after a ball over the top had caught Town square.

Mansarem struck again on 47 minutes to head home after a brilliant move involving Faz Kudozovic, Chris Turner and Paul McTiernan.

Keith Foy ended the game as a contest four minutes later when slotting home a penalty.

Dave Mooney pulled a goal back for Longford on 56 minutes but Rovers comfortably held out to maintain their unbeaten home record.
