The third team to feature on Fan For A Match is none other than the Sligo Rovers of the Football League of Ireland. Smack in the middle of the table at roughly the midway point of the season, the Rovers are far from their glory days, that of 1994 and 2005, when they took the league as national champions. Regardless, they'll probably feel a tad confident going into their match on Saturday, 14 July 2007 against third-last Galway United FC.

Making the Sligo side more formidable for their opponents is the fact that they have a handful of respectable names, such as former Irish youth internationals Gavin Peer, who has played for Blackburn, and Matthew Judge, a former member of Tottenham Hotspur. Of note is the presence of the rare Bosnian on the team, midfielder Fahrudin Kudozovic.

At last, we also have a dependable website for our team, which offers club info, frequent updates and player foci.

So, we're all confident the Rovers can get three points at home against Galway, with the Showgrounds crowd behind them all the way. It all comes down to the pitch on Saturday.

Cheers for the interest in the Rovers. You flatter us a wee bit, though.
We won the first division in 1994 and 2005 - unfortunately, the Premier division is above that. Nonetheless, we did also win the Cup in 94, beating four Premier sides in the process.
We've won two league titles, in 1936/7 and 1976/7, as well as the Cup in 83 and the League Cup in 97.
But nice one anyway - make sure you get along to the Showgies sometime. You'll be made more than welcome.
