77' - Mark Quigley goes a great run and sets up David Cawley who sees a long range effort well saved.
U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers
75' - From the resulting corner, at least three shots somehow stayed out. Hard to tell from this vantage point, but at least one struck the post.
U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers
74' - What a save! Paul O'Conor looked to have beaten Gary Rogers with a header, but at full stretch the 'keeper managed to tip it over the bar.
U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers
73' - Graham Rusk tore through the defence their, but his effort on the end of it was woeful, a tame shot at Gary Rogers.
U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers 72' - Substitution - Sligo Sub - Lee Lynch comes on for John Dillon.

62' - Paul O'Conor sees a fine effort stopped by Rogers.

U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers 46' - Second Half - Second half underway here. 
U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers 45' + 1' - Half Time - Its half-time here at the Belfield Bowl. UCD are 1-0 up and deservedly so through a fine Graham Rusk header. Sligo Rovers haven't really shined here so far, the're struggling to find clear cut chances and as mentioned earlier the passing isn't what you would be used to from them. A bit of Millien magic may be needed for the away side!
U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers
45' - One minute of added time here.
U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers
36' - Sligo Rovers are trying to find an equaliser, but they seem to be lacking that extra something here, the passing just hasn't been up to the same standard as it usually is tonight.
U.C.D 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers
32' - Danny North wins the ball and lays it off to Mark Quigley who tries his luck from distance, but his effort is tame and easily saved by Mark McGinley.

U.C.D 0 - 0 Sligo Rovers 27' - Substitution - Sligo Sub - Iarfhlaith Davoren's night is over. He seemed to pull up, possibly a hamstring problem. Young Jake Dykes comes on for his League debut, son of former Sligo Rovers captain and current coach Gavin Dykes.
U.C.D 0 - 0 Sligo Rovers
23' - A nice piece of play involving McNelis, Rusk and Benson, but the move came to an abrupt end when Paul O'Conor was flagged offside.
U.C.D 0 - 0 Sligo Rovers
20' - Paul Corry picks up the ball 25 yards from goal, but his effort is one to forget as he knocked it well over the bar.

10' - Rovers first threatening move resulted in a corner after an Alan Keane cross was deflected behind the goal. It came to nothing however as the ball in was booted away from danger.

4' - Daniel Ledwith wins a free-kick in a good position, but scoops it well over the bar.
U.C.D 0 - 0 Sligo Rovers
1' - Well, UCD almost score in the first minute! I have no idea how Graham Rusk missed. He had an open goal after Gary Rogers could only slow down a Robbie Benson effort, but Graham Rusk somehow scooped the ball over the bar just a couple of yards from goal.
U.C.D 0 - 0 Sligo Rovers 1' - Kick-off - And we're off!
U.C.D 0 - 0 Sligo Rovers
