Cooke: Pressure all on Galway in basement battle

IT’S the battle of the bottom two at Hunky Dorys Park this evening but Drogheda manager Mick Cooke is convinced the pressure is on visiting basement side Galway United (7.45pm).

“We will be hoping to win tonight, but it is not the be all and end all if we don’t,” said the Drogs boss. “Galway need the points more than us and this will be their cup final. They will be coming here looking to win and we won’t underestimate them at all.”

On their last outing, Drogheda belied their own lowly status by pushing Shamrock Rovers right to the wire.
