Come on the Bit O'Red ! Beat you neighbours to a pulp tonight !
A win for Finn Harps against North West rivals Sligo Rovers at Finn Park tonight would see Felix Healy’s side return to the top of the eircom First Division. Kick off at 7.45pm.
Harps got over their defeat to UCD a fortnight ago by defeating bottom side Limerick 4-1 last weekend. The Ballybofey based club have been dealt a blow in recent weeks with the news that highly rated defender Jonathon Minnock has been ruled out for the rest of the season with ankle ligament damage.
One point separates the top two as UCD hold a slender advantage over Harps, although Bray Wanderers who are a further point behind Harps could also jump to the top of the table with a win over Kildare County, should Healy’s side fail to win against Sligo.
Harps have secured two comfortable wins over Sligo in their league meetings this season, but the bit o’ red have a new manager in charge and the club will be hoping that their fortunes change against the Donegal outfit.
New Sligo manager Sean Connor saw his side lose 2-1 to Athlone Town last weekend and he is expected to make a number of changes to the side for tonight’s match as the Belfast native has a full strength squad to choose from.
