Keeper Finnegan proves the hero as Drogheda see off Bohs

Goalkeeper Shane Finnegan was the Drogheda hero on his debut with two saves in the penalty shoot-out as Mick Cooke’s side won through to the EA Sports Cup third round.

The U19s netminder saved from Kevin Feeley and then Ryan McEvoy, after the home side scored all their spot kicks through Philip Hand, Peter Hynes, Ryan Brennan and Dean Marshall.

In normal time, the Boynesiders had a 19th-minute Tiarnan Mulvenna effort ruled out for offside, but Bohs responded with a Ryan McEvoy piledriver that was superbly parried by Drogheda’s debut keeper Shane Finnegan. Then, on 26 minutes McEvoy volleyed home Keith Buckley’s cross to give the visitors the lead.
