**Sligo Rovers' confirmed relegation after a 5-1 defeat to Shelbourne on October 9 has locked in the bottom side, ending their 21-year top-flight stay following a dismal run with no wins in over three months and just five victories all season.** The 10-team Premier Division table shows Sligo rooted on 23 points from 33 games, 11 points adrift with three fixtures remaining, while Drogheda United sits ninth on 34 points and enters the promotion/relegation play-off against a First Division side. Waterford and Galway United occupy the positions immediately above on 34 and 38 points respectively, with the final matchday on October 30 determining whether Drogheda avoids the drop via the November play-off. Recent form, goal difference, and remaining schedule for the mid-table sides continue to shape trader views on any additional relegation.
