Rovers score four in away win in Cork

Sligo Rovers produced another high-scoring performance in a 4-2 away win against Cork City in Friday night's SSE Airtricity League Premier Division game at Turners Cross.

Romeo Parkes and Ronan Coughlan both scored twice, one each in either half.

Parkes had given Rovers the lead on 31 minutes but Dan Tracey headed home an equaliser for Cork just 90 seconds later.

But Coughlan made it 2-1 for the visitors shortly before the interval.

Liam Buckley's side increased their advantage through Parkes again.

But Cork, to their credit, rallied and Shane Griffin's 25-year screamer brought the home side back into it.

However, a mistake by Cork keeper Mark McNulty presented Ronan Coughlan with an easy opportunity to add a fourth for Rovers.
