Sligo's McTiernan voted Player of the Month

Sligo Rovers striker Paul McTiernan is the eircom/Soccer Writers Association of Ireland Player of the Month for June.

The Ballyfarnon native started the month by helping Sligo to a 3-1 win over Longford Town and hit a double as the 'Bit O'Red' grabbed their first away win of the season beating Bohemians 2-0 immediately after the summer break.

McTiernan was again on the scoresheet again as he hit two goals in a 3-1 win over Derry, but even his sharp skills could not help Sligo from falling to a 3-1 defeat to St Patrick's Athletic at the end of the month.

McTiernan has now scored five goals in the eircom Premier Division.
