Doubles from Cretaro and North secure Sligo Rovers victory

Raffaele Cretaro and Danny North both helped themselves to a double as Sligo Rovers ended Derry City’s reign as EA Sports Cup holders to ease themselves into the semi-finals with a convincing 4-0 win at the Showgrounds.

Having bossed much of the first half, Sligo, who won the competition in 2010, were in front within five minutes of the second half when David Cawley and North combined to put Cretaro in on goal to shoot past keeper Eugene Ferry.
