Drogheda United had two players sent off, along with head coach Tim Clancy, as they ultimately paid the penalty to bow out of the FAI Cup to Derry City in a cliffhanger first round tie at Head in the Game Park.

The game finished 1-1 after extra-time with the Candystripes prevailing in the necessary shoutout, 4-2.
