What a finish!! A beautiful cross from Watts yet again is headed into the back of the net by the sub Danny Mandriou!!

Greene had to score!! A good move finished with Watts swinging in a cross from the right and puts it in front of Greene in the box but he fails to connect.

Mandriou almost has an immediate impact as his lovely pass finds Burke in space in the box but the keeper smothers the shot and Rovers win a corner.

Markey comes on for Heeney with 15 minutes to play.

Shamrock Rovers are starting to change around their team, bringing on Mandriou and Grace for Finn and Kavanagh. Can either side get a winner?

Brandon Birmingham comes on for Chris Lyons.

Chris Lyons is down and wins a free for Drogheda in a dangerous area near the corner after a tackle from Finn.

With 25 minutes to play, Graham Burke is on to try to add a little but of X factor for Rovers.

This game is becoming a little more feisty as other players collide in the middle of the pitch.

Watts earns a yellow card for allegedly leading with his elbow.

Rovers win a corner-kick. As the ball bobbles in the air, both Lopes and McCabe go for it and they exchange pleasantries after.

A backpass from Kavanagh was not anticipated by Liam Scales who had dropped off and that almost allowed Lyons in on goal.Let off for Rovers.

Second half is underway here with no changes from either side.

Half-time here. It is all square at the break.

Deegan has a good left-footed shot but MAnnus saves it easily.

An awkward looking challenge from Lopes leaves Chris Lyons on the floor but the ref gives no free.

With five minutes to go, Drogheda will be happy enough as they have created good chances, while Rovers are always dangerous and have had a shot cleared off the line, so fairly even so far.

Approaching the 40th minute, Rovers win a corner kick after sustained possession.

Sean Hoare had a good chance with a header from a corner-kick but he headed wide.

Drogheda have two dangerous phases of play as Doyle had a great chance to shoot and just beforehand, Phillips, was just too late arriving for a brilliant cross from the right,yet again.

Scales jumps highest from the corner kick and heads against the crossbar, but the ref adjudges him to have fouled the keeper.

Great dribble from Gaffney on the left wing and he links with Finn who crosses the ball across goal to Gannon whose shot was cleared wide for a corner. Best spell of play from Rovers today.

McCabe came out for a high ball but it broke free to Rory Gaffney whose shot is cleared off the line. Lucky break for the Keeper.

James Browne on the right wing for Drogheda delivers a brilliant cross into the box but it was probably too early for his attack.

Watts again displays his great range of passing, and puts a great cross field pass to Sean Gannon whose cross is caught easily by McCabe.

Just as I speak, Mark Doyle intercepts in midfield and starts an attack but his cross was deflected into the arms of Mannus in goal.

Finn and O'Neill are dropping deep in central midfield, almost playing like a quarter-back style as Rovers have Drogheda pinned in so far.

Good play started by Finn in midfield, led to a great cross from Dylan Watts off the left wing but it was just slightly too high for Aaron Greene in the penalty area.

In a start with a few tough tackles, play has been paused as Gary O'Neill is down after a tough fall.

The teams are out on the pitch and there is a minute silence for Peggy Clancy, mother of Dundalk's Tim Clancy.

We are twenty minutes away from kick-off right now. Shamrock Rovers have made changes from their game against Longford, bringing in Gaffney, Watts, O'Neill and Hoare into their starting lineup.

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and you are very welcome to tonight's live coverage of Drogheda United and Shamrock Rovers, live from Head in the Game Park. I'm Paul Regan and a win tonight for the home side would see them leap ahead of Rovers in the table while a win for the visitors would see them maintain top position, depending on goal difference after a full round of games tonight in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division.
