Twigg hits double as Rovers roar into gear

CHAMPIONS Shamrock Rovers put bottom club Drogheda to the sword with an utterly convincing performance at Hunky Dorys Park last night.

The margin of victory in no way flattered the Hoops, for they dominated from start to finish as Gary Twigg plundered two more goals and Ciaran Kilduff and Billy Dennehy weighed in with one apiece.

The home side were struggling to get out of their own half despite the gale at their backs, and it was no surprise when Rovers went ahead on 28 minutes. Billy Dennehy swung in a cross and the Drogheda defence were absent as Twigg nodded past David Quirke from six yards.
