O’Brien spot on as Drogheda hang on

Declan O’Brien’s spot kick separated the sides at Hunky Dorys Park last night as Drogheda United hung on for all three points against a spirited Bohemians side.

But the visitors were furious at the refereeing of Rob Rogers and manager Aaron Callaghan and some of his players surrounded the official on the pitch after the final whistle.

This game was slow to come to life, two wayward efforts from Bohs’ Kevin Feely and Keith Ward and a comfortable save by their keeper Andy McNulty from a deflected Sean Brennan free kick the high points of a disappointing opening 35 minutes.
