Lively winger Grimes found the bottom corner with an angled drive to give Daire Doyle’s side a ninth minute lead. The 23-year-old could only clumsily parry an Aodh Dervin free kick into the path of Gorman who swept the loose ball home from close range. Foley struck on 38 minutes to clinically punish an under-hit back pass from defender James Finnerty to round goalkeeper James Talbot and slot home. Sligo Rovers came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Dundalk at the Showgrounds. Jamaica international striker Romeo Parkes marked his return to Sligo with their equaliser seven minutes later, powerfully heading home a Robbie McCourt free kick.
