Finn Harps U13s 2-2 Sligo Rovers
The Finn Harps U13s came from 2-0 down to secure a share of the spoils against Sligo Rovers at Finn Park on Friday  night thanks to a brace of goals from in-form striker Shaun Patton. Kevin McHugh’s side was 1-0 down at the break and conceded a second shortly after the restart. The Harps manager was pleased with the way his side battled their way back into the contest with Joel Gibson setting Patton up to give the hosts a lifeline. Then midway through the second half, Tiernan McGinty burst past a couple of Sligo players and there was Patton again to apply the perfect finish. The Harps U13s are back in action again next Friday night at Finn Park against Longford Town (kick-off 7.30).
