Muireann Devaney’s double and another goal from Sorcha Reddy gave Rovers their second win in a row.

Donegal created a number of chances, but couldn’t find a way past Hannah McDonagh, the Sligo goalkeeper.
Sligo hit the front on 11 minutes as Devaney slotted past Caoimhe Brennan, the Donegal goalkeeper.
Reddy doubled the lead from a free-kick before Devaney’s second sealed the deal.
