‘Fabio’ fires Drogs to victory

Declan O’Brien’s first-half goal proved enough for Drogheda as they cut Sligo’s lead at the top to a single point with a hard-earned win at Hunky Dorys Park.

‘Fabio’ struck with a fine individual effort in the 21st minute, but the Boynesiders were indebted to their keeper Gabriel Sava, who denied the Students on a number of occasions.

Two saves in particular were outstanding, one from Paul Corry and the other to deny Robbie Benson.
