Plenty final night fireworks still to come in top flight

THE BRAND new championship trophy may be safely installed in United Park but final night fireworks in the eircom League Premier Division season can still be expected at the top and bottom of the table.

With top two Drogheda and St Pats — who meet tonight at Richmond Park — having already secured Champions League and UEFA qualifying positions, Cork City and Bohemians will fight it for a berth in the Intertoto Cup.

At the other end of the table, battling Longford Town have one last chance to avoid the automatic drop, while Waterford United — who are also threatened with immediate relegation — will be hoping to leapfrog Bray and UCD to avoid being sucked into a relegation play-off.
