Sligo Rovers and Waterford played out a stalemate at the Showgrounds in what was an entertaining relegation six-pointer. The Bit O'Red, currently 10th in the Premier Division with 22 points from 27 games, recent form LDDLL, and 32 points behind leaders Shamrock Rovers, had chances, but the visitors had the best of them.
What happened?
The home side created the first opening following an even and entertaining start, with Jack Shorrock being foiled by a last-ditch tackle from Hayden Cann.
Why it matters for Sligo Rovers
The result suits Waterford more than Sligo Rovers, who now sit 5 points off the rest of the pack, and have scored 23 goals while conceding 45 this season.
What comes next?
Sligo Rovers will look to bounce back from this draw when they face Bohemians away on August 28, and will hope to improve on their recent form of 1W-2D-2L in their last 5 games, having beaten Kerry 4-0 in their last outing on August 15.
