Carl McHugh was the hero as his 97th minute goal earned Sligo Rovers a massive three points in Tallaght Stadium against the league leaders Shamrock Rovers on Friday night. Sligo Rovers came from behind with goals from Jeannot Esua and McHugh seeing Russell's men pick up a vital win.
A poor forecast prompted the captains to agree a shortened 25-over game which the hosts will have welcomed given their recent T20 form. Unfortunately, despite winning the toss the town didn't get off to a great start with the bat; in-form opener Yash Verma was caught behind on 15 inside five overs, while number three Liam Giggins was dismissed bowled two overs later. This didn't deter Dundalk wicketkeeper Sakhi Jan, who held firm to claim his eleventh club 50 before drinks.
