The hosts had shocked league leaders Shelbourne on Friday night

SLIGO ROVERS ARE up to sixth in the league table after their second consecutive win, beating Drogheda United 2-1 at The Showgrounds on Monday evening.

The opening stages were frantic, and Drogheda created a number of good chances of their own. Steve Bawa had two shots blocked after eight minutes, while Ryan Brennan nodded wide as Ed McGinty delayed coming off his line.Faroese international Stefan Radosavljevic, who heads on international duty this week, looked to have struck his free-kick perfectly.

Evan Weir was through on goal, but could only hit the side netting, albeit from an angle as he was forced wide. The second-half was 40 seconds old when Drogs pulled one back. Weir’s free-kick was knocked down by Frantz Pierrot, and Keaney was on hand to drive it into the bottom corner past McGinty.
