SLIGO ROVERS will go into a relegation six pointer with Galway United on Monday level on points with the Tribesmen after they were pegged back by Drogheda United at the Showgrounds.

Ryan O'Kane fired the Bit O' Red into the lead on the stroke of halftime, but the Boynesiders levelled early in the second half courtesy of a Paul Doyle penalty.

Sligo’s golden boy Owen Elding struck the Drogheda post after 11 minutes, while O'Kane fizzed an effort wide of Luke Dennison's post on the follow up.
