Chambers boosts Drogs’ survival hopes

DROGHEDA UNITED boosted their hopes of avoiding the Premier Division relegation trap-door when a dramatic winner from midfielder James Chambers in the second minute of added time gave them a deserved victory over basement club Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds last night.

Now Alan Mathews’ team leap over Sligo Rovers into eighth place in the table with their first win in five games to keep very much alive their hopes of top flight survival.

Drogheda had an early chance when a snap shot from striker Ross Gaynor was well blocked by Bray’s Aussie ‘keeper Chris O’Connor.
