Skipper McNally rescues Drogs

A late header from skipper Alan McNally allowed high-flying Drogheda United to salvage a point in last night’s tense Premier Division encounter with a young UCD side at the Belfield Bowl.

College had an early chance when midfielder Paul O’Conor put Chris Lyons through only for the striker to awkwardly loft the ball over the bar.

Drogheda went close to breaking the deadlock on 12 minutes when Tiernan Mulvenna played a ball over the top of the UCD defence but Declan ‘Fabio’ O’Brien could not finish.
