Overview
- Waterford defeated Sligo Rovers 4-0 at the RSC on Friday, June 12, with Pádraig Amond scoring a hat-trick to secure the result.
- Jorgen Voilas came off the bench and scored a quick second-half goal after a long Jordan Houston throw to swing momentum in Waterford’s favour.
- Sligo were reduced to ten men when Oliver Denham received a second yellow card soon after Voilas’ strike, leaving the visitors exposed.
- The win moves Waterford to within five points of second-from-bottom Sligo but is only Waterford’s second victory of the season, so relegation pressure remains.
- Sligo manager John Russell was without multiple senior players due to injury for the match, a factor that weakened their performance and will shape team selection in coming weeks.
