Mulvenna gives Drogheda much-needed lift

RECENT signing Tiarnan Mulvenna scored in each half to hand Drogheda their first home league win of the season — but they had to work hard for it after playing the final 13 minutes with 10 men.

The visitors made a strong start and Stephen Trimble in the Drogheda goal was a busy man as he made fine saves from Paul Corry and Graham Rusk in the opening quarter-hour.

Indeed, Rusk could have had a hat-trick as he headed across goal on another occasion, before drilling wide from eight yards.
