Sligo Rovers gave themselves a timely boost on Friday night with a commanding 3-1 win over Bohemians at the Showgrounds.
In what was Rovers best display for several weeks, Kailan Barlow scored his first senior goal for the club season to put Rovers in front.
Max Mata made it 2-0 before half-time - and the third goal was a fine finish from the edge of the box by Stefan Radosavljevic in the second half.
