A 0-0 draw against St Patrick’s Athletic puts Drogheda United above Dundalk at the bottom of the table.
Drogheda United 0 St Patrick’s Athletic 0 DROGHEDA UNITED HAVE stopped the rot. After four straight defeats that sent them to the foot of the table, a first clean sheet in 13 games secured a long-awaited point and, in turn, moved them back above fierce foes Dundalk for now.
That doesn’t tell the whole story, however. Drogheda were more than in this game and were full value for their point in the end. In injury time, Zishim Bawa came close to his fourth of an improving campaign but his header was wide. The chances were plentiful for the hosts, for whom Jack Keaney and Conor Kane were particularly impressive. Both players took aim at goal in the first and second half respectively, while Bawa, Adam Foley and Ryan Brennan all went close to varying degrees.
In the second half, the Saints defence bore a really unfamiliar, makeshift look to it. They weren’t breached though, which is something. Kian Leavy was a constant threat, running at the Drogs defence but his influence waned as the game wore on.
