Spoils shared as Bohemians and Sligo Rovers play out a hugely entertaining 2-2 draw at Dalymount Park.
Bohs started the brighter and right from the off Eoghan Stokes burst through the midfield to try his luck from 25 yards signalling their intent.
Right before the half hour mark the deadlock was finally broken. Stokes collected a long ball from Oscar Brennan on the right wing. The ex-Leeds United man cut inside and curled a beautiful left-footed effort into the far top corner to send the home fans wild. Their elation was short lived though, as Sligo responded well and got back on level terms just minutes later.
Rhys McCabe delivered a deadly inswinging corner and David Cawley was quickest to react at the near post burying his downward header past Shane Supple.
Bohs came flying out of the traps in the second half and put pressure on Rovers right from the off. And just on the stroke of the hour mark deservedly took the lead. A spate of corners and pressure final told when Karl Moore floated a cross to the back post and Ian Morris did brilliantly to direct the header in the near post. And just like the first half Sligo equalized almost immediately.
Rhys McCabe delivered a high cross from the right wing that was only half cleared and as the ball came out of the sky, Adam Morgan showed incredible technique to smash home the left footed volley past Supple for his fourth of the season.
Again, Bohs responded positively and it was all the home side from then on in. Stokes had a great effort from just inside the box, curling inches wide with his right foot. Paddy Kavanagh came closest to stealing all three points when his direct run down the right and snap shot from the edge of the box, agonizingly came back off the far post, straight to the feet of Dinny Corcoran who blazed over from three yards. Luckily for the big man, the assistants flag saved his blushes as the game ended 2-2.
