Sligo Rovers are still without a home win in the league this season after a scoreless draw with Bohemians at the Showgrounds.

Rovers boss Owen Heary was hoping for a badly needed three points in his first game against his former club, but had to be satisfied with a draw that at least extended his side's unbeaten run to three games.

Steven Beattie was back in the Rovers team after an injury and he looked most likely to break the deadlock, going close three times by the hour-mark.
