High-flying Drogheda look to close on Rovers

Drogheda United can move within three points of Premier Division leaders Sligo Rovers with victory over Shelbourne in tonight’s crucial clash at Tolka Park (8pm).

Hoping to make it six league games unbeaten, Drogheda boss Mick Cooke was delighted by his team’s 2-0 victory over high-flying St Patrick’s Athletic at Richmond Park last week.

Drogheda will be without the suspended Ryan Brennan but back from one-match bans are Stephen Quigley and Eric Foley.
