Drogheda earn rousing point

St. Patrick's Athletic 1 Drogheda United 1

Drogheda's spirited players put their money worries behind them to earn a rousing point at Richmond Park.

Declan O'Brien put Drogheda in front against the run of play when heading home a Mark Dempsey cross.

Saints equalised six minutes before the break when Ger McCarthy looped a header over Gary Rogers from Trevor Croly's centre.

O'Brien might then have won it for Drogheda but wasted two good chances.
