SHAMROCK ROVERS GRABBED a massive three points in the race for European football next season overcoming 10-man Sligo Rovers .
The pacey wideman cut in on his left foot towards the edge of the box but saw his powerful strike bravely blocked. Without skipper Niall Morohan in the engine room, and having lost the influential Nando Pijnaker to Auckland FC, the visitors struggled to get a foothold but looked dangerous going forward through the in-form Wilson Waweru and Ellis Chapman linking up well.
But just before the break, it was two-nil to the home side when McElroy swung and missed a through ball, allowing Kenny another clear run on goal and the 21-year old made no mistake this time, slotting past the helpless McGinty. The Bit O’Red were given a mountain to climb when Henry-Francis received a second yellow for a late challenge on Gary O’Neill just before the hour mark.
