CHAMPIONS SLIGO ROVERS continued their 100% start to the season with a comfortable 3-1 win at Dundalk tonight.
The Bit O’ Red were two goals to the good at half-time thanks to strikes from Raffaele Cretaro and Gavin Peers.
The in-form Anthony Elding notched his fourth of the season after the break, effectively killing the game as a contest, before the home side grabbed a consolation through a long-range Kurtis Byrne strike.
Limerick earned their first win of the year — 3-1 — at home to UCD, meanwhile. Darragh Rainsford notched a brace, one either side of a goal from the busy-looking Dave O’Leary.
Elsewhere, Drogheda United left Foyleside with a hard-won point thanks to a 1-1 draw against Derry City. Ryan McBride headed the opening goal of the game for the home side but Mick Daly levelled it up with less than 10 minutes left.
Bray Wanderers game with Cork City at the Carlisle Grounds was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch while Shels’ cross-town trip to St Patrick’s Athletic was also called off.
