Injury pile-up as Drogs face Derry

HAVING finally gained their first win in six with a 1-0 victory away to Waterford United in the eircom Premier League, Derry City will have to go at least one better tonight if they are to overhaul Drogheda United and claim a semi-final berth in the Setanta Cup.

Trailing Drogheda by three points in third place in Group 1, Pat Fenlon’s men go to United Park knowing that they must beat the Drogs by at least two goals if they are to join table-toppers Linfield in the final four of this year’s competition.

After what has been a torrid start to the season for the Candystripes, the visitors will go into this evening’s game boosted by a timely win and also knowing that Drogheda boss Paul Doolin has his share of injury worries ahead of the game.
