Drogheda United 3 Cliftonville 2

DROGHEDA BOSS Paul Doolin has his sights set firmly on an unprecedented Setanta Cup three-in-a-row but he has already lost one battle to Group One rivals Cork City after defender Danny Murphy signed yesterday for his former club despite a last-ditch attempt by Doolin to nab the Londoner.

Cliftonville came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw with FC Dinaburg in their first-round, first-leg Intertoto Cup clash at Windsor Park.

Holder Bill Buckley Jnr of Erry, Co. Offaly, faces 80 rivals when he bids to retain the All Ireland Men's Pitch and Putt Strokeplay Championship at St. Stephen’s, Glanmire, Co. Cork tomorrow.
