Sligo Rovers overcame a recent virus issue in camp to defeat Cork City 4-0 at the Showgrounds and secure a third consecutive league win. The match was decided in the first half, with all four goals scored before halftime. Sydney Stephens scored twice, while Cara King and Anna McDaniel each added one goal. The team kept a clean sheet and entered the June break in fifth place. A win against Linfield would send Rovers into the quarter-finals of the All Island Cup for the first time. Stephens has eight league goals in eight games, and her overall performances, attitude, work-rate, and leadership are praised. Ella Karolak returned after missing time with a knock.
"Buzzing with the performance. I wanted a little bit more from the second-half if I'm being very honest,"
"I think the game just petered out. But we kept a clean sheet, you could see the week's work that we'd done and we put in, especially in the first-half."
"It's hugely positive, to win three games in a row in the league, it's not easy to do that. I know what this group is capable of."
"Sydney is incredible. She's flying in the league with goals, assists, but her performances, her attitude, her work-rate, her leadership. There's multiple girls on the team that are delivering that. Sydney's scoring the goals, but it's a real team effort."
