Drogheda to hand newcomer league debut

Dutchman Jermaine Sandvliet looks set for his eircom League debut after impressing in Drogheda United’s friendly victory over Portadown on Monday night.

Sandvliet, a left-sided winger or full-back who joined the high-flying Drogs at the end of last month on a Bosman free transfer from FC Dordrecht, finally received his international clearance at the weekend and delivered an assured performance in the 5-1 thumping of the Irish League side at United Park on Monday night.
