Drogheda United 2 Dundalk 1 DROGHEDA UNITED EARNED the Louth derby spoils at the end of pulsating game that sparked into life in the second half, providing all the requisite thrills and spills a fiercely fought derby should.
Passion is always a given in this one, but points were a must for both sides with the two local rivals occupying the bottom two places in the Premier Division table. Drogheda end the day five points clear of Dundalk who, despite their brief revival under Noel King’s management, are now languishing at the foot of the table.
Drogheda have relied heavily on their home form to keep in touch with the teams above them in the early parts of the season. A third home win of the campaign was within sight before everything fell to pieces. Andrew Wogan sprang from the bench only to instantly retrieve the ball from his net. Gullan has already demonstrated his set-piece prowess this term and his low free-kick found the bottom corner.
