Finn Harps stunned Sligo Rovers in the second round of the eircom League Cup at Finn Park tonight. Trailing 2-0 well into the second half, Harps fought back and two Stephen Parkhouse goals in the final three minutes of the game gave Harps a 3-2 win.

Matthew Judge headed Sligo in front after the hour with Chris Turner finding the net just before half-time.

Conor Gethins' long range shot just after the hour just about crossed the line to give the home side some hope of a revival.

Parkhouse then flicked home a header to level matters in the dying minutes. The same Harps player then struck a couple of minutes into stoppage time to clinch Harps a place in the last eight.
