Finn Harps miserable run continued at Eamon Decay Park as Ollie Horgan’s side went down 3-2 to Galway United.
Harps found themselves 2-0 down after just ten minutes when Enda Curran and Vinnie Faherty found the net for the Tribesmen.
It was always going to be an uphill battle for Harps but in fairness they stuck to their task.
Galway however, went further ahead in the second half when Colm Horgan made it 3-0 for the home side.
But goals from Ruairi Keaitng in the 58th minute and Adam Hanlon in the 75th minute had Harps dreaming of a dream comeback and possibly a share of the points.
That vital levelling goal never game however and Harps were doomed to their ninth defeat on the trot.
