Aaron Greene scored his 100th league goal as Shamrock Rovers got back to winning ways against bottom-of-the-table Sligo Rovers at Tallaght Stadium. The 35-year-old, in his 17th season in the domestic game, doubled Rovers' lead in an utterly dominant first half, as they earned a first win in five to sit a point off league leaders Drogheda United ahead of meeting them in Dublin 24 on Friday.

HAVING won three matches on the spin when they might have lost, Alan Reynolds was livid at his Bohemians side for losing a game they should have won. Cracking goals from James Olayinka and Tommy Lonergan earned Waterford — who confirmed John Coleman as their new manager yesterday — a smash-and-grab 2-1 win over a dominant Bohs at Dalymount Park on Friday.

TOMMY LONERGAN made an assist before scoring a cracking winner to end Bohemians’ resurgence. The hitman’s sharp work up front kept Waterford’s own revival going as the managerless club made it back-to-back victories. Caretaker Matt Lawlor guided them to victory over Derry City last time out and they dug in here for a gutsy away win. Ireland Under-21 assistant coach Stephen Rice, linked with the managerial vacancy at the RSC, was an interested spectator.
