Late Gray strike lets Drogheda off hook

LONGFORD will be kicking themselves after gifting a draw to out-of-sorts Drogheda at Flancare Park on Saturday.

However, the point is enough to move Longford up two places to eighth in the premier division standings while Drogheda move clear in fourth, a point ahead of Waterford.

Longford made most of the initial running and Dessie Baker had a good chance to give his side an early lead, but the winger made no mistake when presented with his second opportunity in the 22nd minute.
