Dundalk put six past Drogheda in local derby

Drogheda United 0 - Dundalk 6: Dundalk remain on course for a second-place finish behind champions-elect Cork City following this derby rout of 10-man Drogheda at United Park.

Drogheda started on the front foot, however. Ryan McEvoy shot over the bar from long range in the third minute and Stephen Dunne fired over from a short corner in the 13th minute.

Dundalk threatened on several occasions but timely interventions by Killian Brennan, Colm Deasy, and Ciaran McGuigan denied the visitors shooting opportunities.
