Emma Doherty of Sligo Rovers, left, celebrates with teammate Lauren Boles after scoring her side's second goal during the SSE Airtricity Women's National League match against Shelbourne
A host of Donegal players played their part as Sligo Rovers came back from two down to defeat champions Shelbourne 3-2 in the Women's National League at the Showgrounds.
In their first season in the senior league, Steve Feeney's Sligo team were in serious bother just 19 minutes in with Pearl Slatterty and Alex Kavanagh scoring for the current league leaders for a 2-0 lead.
However, Greencastle's Gemma McGuinness pulled on back for the home team in first half injury time and then, after the break, Emma Doherty from Buncrana struck twice, in the 53rd and 61st minutes to give Sligo an unlikely victory.
