Shamrock Rovers and Drogheda played out a 1-1 draw on Sunday evening.
A day after the door opened for Shamrock Rovers to join the title race, Drogheda slammed it in their face.
To stand any chance of a fifth crown in-a-row, the Hoops knew there was no margin for error. But it’s mishaps like this that had them off the pace in the first place. And asked if it was a big opportunity missed in the title race, Bradley added: “Yes, there’s no other way of saying it. But despite taking an early lead through Darragh Burns and seeing Ryan Brennan clear another effort off the line, Rovers failed to capitalise..
But the Drogheda supporters milked their deserved draw for everything it was worth, as the bottom side - unbeaten in four - moved within two points of Dundalk.Drogheda defender James Bolger failed to deal with Gary O’Neill’s pass down the line, making a hash of things and allowed the ball to bounce in behind him.With Jack Byrne and Graham Burke pulling strings, Rovers were a threat in that opening half and Burke peppered Dennison with two quick-fire shots.
