SLIGO ROVERS came from behind as Derry City slipped up in the battle for the title, losing 2-1 to a Bit O’Red side who continue to cause them problems.
With four wins on the bounce, Derry travelled to The Showgrounds in good form and full of confidence.Advertisement And, they were coming up against a Bit O’Red side who have proven to be somewhat troublesome for teams at the top, having beaten both Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne in recent weeks. McGinty, whose loan from Oxford has been extended until the end of the season, made himself big on a couple of occasions to deny Paul McMullan, while Pat Hoban’s overhead kick at the end of the first half trickled wide.Daniel Kelly’s cross came to Hoban, who left it for McMullan. And the Scot’s superb finish beat McGinty to put the Candystripes ahead.
