Sligo Rovers
lost 3-0 Bohemians on Friday night as clinical finishing and a lack of
substance up front put paid to the Bit O’Red’s chances of taking anything from Dalymount Park.

A huge
traffic jam delayed the arrival of the team and supporters to Dalymount Park
and with no chance of changing the kick off time Rovers were up against it from
before the first whistle.
Neal Fenn
opened the scoring on 15 minutes when he combined with the impressive Killian
Brennan to shoot low past Pat Jennings from outside of the area.
Rovers
attacked for the remainder of the half but never threatened the Bohs’ goal.
The second
half saw Paul Cook’s side find an extra dimension and they went forward with more momentum. But they never created a clear
cut chance and the similarity with last year’s 3-0 defeat in Dalymount Park
was ominous.
It was to
be the case as Killian Brennan scored twice in the final ten minutes. His first
was a penalty, harshly awarded against Jamie McKenzie. He added a second two
minutes later with the ball richcheting around the penalty area before the former
Derry City player found the net, it may go
down as a Gavin Peers own goal.
The Rovers
supporters, most of whom were over 30 minutes late for the game due to the
traffic congestion, sang the team of the pitch with the cup game against
Shamrock Rovers in Tolka
Park next week firmly in
mind. Paul Cook will return from his four game ban and the fans must lift
themselves after a throughly disappointing night.
