Ryan Casey ‘so proud' of Sligo Rovers' second-half performance against Dundalk on ‘horrendous' Oriel Park pitch
Sligo Rovers' assistant manager Ryan Casey praised his players' 'terrific' second-half performance which saw the Bit O'Red seal their spot in the next round of the FAI Cup in what was a tricky tie at Oriel Park.
First Division league leaders Dundalk made Rovers work for this win, and Ciaran Kilduff's side could easily have been winning at half-time had they taken their chances in the first-half.

Hannah Tyrrell enjoys adorable moment with daughter on stage at homecoming
Hannah Tyrrell enjoyed an adorable moment with her daughter on stage as the All-Ireland winning Dublin footballers were greeted by thousands on Tuesday's homecoming. The Dublin Footballers climbed to the summit once again as they cruised past Meath in Sunday's decider, with Tyrrell again playing a starring role. Turning 35 this Sunday and with a young daughter, Tyrrell has opted to wave goodbye to elite sport after a storied career in which she won an FAI Cup, a Six Nations, and two All-Ireland Football titles. Dublin's Hannah Tyrrell celebrates on stage with her daughter Aoife Hannah Tyrrell with her daughter on stage Tyrrell retires from elite sport just days before her 35th birthday Hannah Tyrrell with wife Sorcha and daughter Aoife after Sunday's final Tyrrell confirmed her retirement post-game, although finishing the Championship as top scorer shows she still would add value to the All-Ireland champions. Speaking after the game, she told Marty Morrissey, "How lucky am I? I've been lucky enough to be from Dublin, to get to play for Dublin, finish my career at Croke Park, and go out on a high. I'm privileged. "I'm privileged to be from this wonderful county and represent all these people. I'm looking forward to what's ahead." Tyrrell isn't the only one who will be stepping away from the panel with Nicole Owens also retiring. Owens has had her fair share of injuries in recent years and an All-Ireland victory while fully fit appears to be a good time to exit. Speaking to Jerome Quinn after the match she said: "That is me done. I made the decision, win or lose, because I knew that if we didn't get over the line, it would be a hard decision to make. I think the big thing for me today was just to come in and have fun. I did, I enjoyed the crowd. I enjoyed the first-half, not so much the second-half but the first-half I enjoyed." Attention will now turn to 35-year-old Sinead Goldrick who played a starring role at wing back for Dublin on Sunday, and if she will hang up the boots.

Drogheda United boss Kevin Doherty wary of Waterford FC qualities
The Blues lie seven points clear of second-bottom Sligo Rovers and trail fourth-placed Drogheda by eight, but Doherty doesn't accept that they'll journey up the M1 with nothing to pride to play for. Speaking on Tuesday, he said: 'There's 10 games left and still 30 points to play for and a couple of wins and they're right there (in the battle for European places), particularly when they're playing us. It's a bit early to be talking about having nothing to play for, it really is, so I think they're very much alive. 'I watched their game at the weekend (against St Pat's) and they had a really, really strong performance, and a really good result in Galway the week before. Who else has gone down there and scored four goals? 'They will bring a lot of challenges. Everyone talks about Padraig Amond and Tommy Lonergan up front, but they've got Conan Noonan in behind as well and they brought in (Jordan) Rossiter. Andy Boyle will be coming back as well, so they'll have their strongest backline available, and they've a very experienced manager who knows how to get results. 'Every game in this league is so, so difficult, but we're going into Friday confident after winning three in a row and playing well. 'I could not have been happier with the performance on Friday (against Bohemians) and I think it was very, very evident what we were doing on that training camp in Spain the week before.' 'The big thing for me is the availability of players, which is a massive difference compared to a month ago. Paul Doyle did his first full training session yesterday, so it's only Elicha Ahui, Zishim Bawa and Scott Brady who aren't available now.' Warren Davis and Darragh Markey scored the goals in a 2-0 win the last time Waterford visited Drogheda, but in the reverse fixture in the RSC it took a stoppage-time strike from Conor Keeley to rescue a 2-2 draw.
