Drogheda United’s Douglas James-Taylor scored a very long-awaited first goal of the season from the penalty spot to help his side best Bohemians on the pitch and climb above them in a Premier Division table that remains as congested as ever towards the summit.

A serious thigh injury had robbed Drogheda of their star striker for much of the campaign but he is back now and Kevin Doherty will desperately hope they can hold onto him beyond this summer.
