Sligo Rovers are back up to fifth in the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division table following Saturday night's 3-1 win over bottom-of-the-table UCD at the Showgrounds.
Two goals from the club's leading scorer Max Mata - and a fine team move resulting in Fabrice Hartmann's excellent finish made it back-to-back wins for John Russell's side.

The night also marked the 40th anniversary of Sligo Rovers first ever FAI Cup winning side - with members and connections of the 1983 team being introduced to the crowd at half-time.
