European progression represents significant success for the league.
It was a great night for Irish soccer in Europe.
Sligo beat Motherwell 2-0 on the night at the Showgrounds and 3-0 on aggregate to reach the third qualifying round of the Conference League.
At the same stage of the competition, Pat's defeated Mura on penalties in Slovenia after their tie ended scoreless after 120 minutes.
Pat's will now face CSKA Sofia in the next round, with Sligo to meet Viking of Norway.
Sligo striker and Mullingar man Aidan Keena says it's important for the players to keep their feet on the ground:
