Boh's stretch lead at the top

Bohemians 3 Drogheda United 1

Bohs stretched their lead at the top of the table to five points as they maintained their unbeaten start to the season.

They took the lead on five minutes when the suspiciously offside Gary O'Neill, playing in place of the injured Glen Crowe, raced through to shoot past Gary Rogers.

But plucky Drogheda were level ten minutes later when midfielder Stuart Taylor equalised with a towering header.

Bobby Ryan restored Bohs' lead on 64 minutes after good work by Paul Keegan

and Stephen Caffrey. Colin Hawkins then made a welcome return as a sub when heading the third on

84 minutes.
