THERE was only one game played last weekend in the Sligo Southern Hotel Super League – Glenview Stars defeated bottom of the table Real Tubber 2-1 at O’Boyle Park, Forthill, last Sunday. Jake Drewe’s sixth minute finish for the home side – his 10th goal of the season – was cancelled out within minutes by Ben Henry’s goal for the visitors. Ryan Downey then put Glenview back in front with a goal after 33 minutes and that’s how it stayed for the remainder.
The winners finished with 10 players due to a second booking for Lucas Sosa with half an hour left. Glenview are up to sixth place in the standings, six points behind leaders Gurteen Celtic, but relegation candidates Real Tubber continue to struggle as this was a 13th loss in 15 games.
