'It was as if we had never played a game of football before, with some of the stuff I was listening to'

The FAI Cup holders earned a spot in the President’s Cup final ahead of the season’s start, where a comprehensive defeat to Shelbourne added a bit more heft to what has become an annual tradition: pre-season previews tipping Drogheda for relegation.

“We’re playing against a seriously good team in St Pat’s, an unbelievable squad and an excellent manager, but we may as well have not turned up tonight listening to everyone. “It’s really early to be saying that type of stuff, so it really annoyed me. We will lose plenty of games this year. We finished ninth and won the Cup, an amazing achievement, but we have to fight and scrap for every single point we get. Other clubs are doing a lot longer than us, even Cork who have come up have been full time for the last number of years.”

“It can’t be like this all the time, always out with a point to prove, but sometimes you need that. It was annoying. It’d be easier to say that after coming in here with a win, but we should have had the chance to win it.
