With two league games to go, Rovers remain in sixth place in the table, but there is increasing uncertainty about whether the season will finish, given the growing Covid-19 numbers in recent weeks.
On the plus side for Sligo Rovers, the game marked the return of defender John Mahon to action, eight-and-a-half months after his leg break.
The Collooney man came through the game unscathed.
