But it was Sligo who had the game’s first real opening on 13 minutes when JR Wilson shaved the outside of a post with a free kick.A loose pass from Jamie Lennon never found its intended target of Romal Palmer. Connor Malley pounced to stride forward and arrow a terrific drive past the despairing dive of Joseph Anang to the net.
Hennessy ignored Sligo’s contention that the foul was outside the area to point to the spot. Keena blasted his penalty to the net in sending Ed McGinty the wrong way.
