Eddie Dsane
Drogheda United 0-2 Finn Harps
Finn Harps picked up three valuable points against Drogheda at United Park tonight.
Harps took the lead in the fourth minute when Eddie Dsane sent a brilliant free-kick to the corner of the net.
Drogheda almost drew level when Thomas Byrne hit the crossbar four minutes later, but that was as close as they came in the first half.
Caolan McAleer spurned a great chance to make it 2-0 to Harps when he capitalised on a defensive error from Ciaran McGuigan but he drove his shot straight at Drogs goalkeeper Stephen McGuinness.
