Drogheda United fell from the top of the Premier Division table after Sligo Rovers struck twice in the space of six second-half minutes to claw back a two-goal deficit at the Showgrounds. Now with just one win in their last five, United led courtesy of goals either side of half time from the boots of Conor Keeley and Thomas Oluwa. An Owen Elding goal on 67 minutes and a Conor Kane own goal shortly after saw Rovers level the tie and topple Drogs from top spot.

Francely Lomboto scored a 90th minute equaliser as Sligo Rovers pulled a point from the fire against ten man Cork City at the Showgrounds. Kitt Nelson had given Tim Clancy's side the lead with 14 minutes to go, but Rovers were rewarded for a late rally when Lomboto netted his third goal of the season at the death. The point will certainly be more welcome in Cork than in the north west as the result leaves a three-point gap between City and the Bit O'Red, who continue to occupy bottom spot.
