....And Conor Keeney rises up to clear it away. Full-time: Drogheda United 0-0 Shamrock Rovers.

A corner kick for Rovers at the death! Watts stands over it.

Five minutes of added time to be played in Weaver's Park!

If the game finishes level it will mean that Shamrock Rovers have failed to beat Drogheda United in regular in their last seven games.

Greene carded after a late challenge on Markey.

Ronan Finn and Aaron Greene come on for Burke and Nugent as Bradley desperately tries to get his team into first gear.

Rooney comes off for Aaron McNally.

Dayle Rooney carded.

Rovers are beginning to pile on the momentum as Drogheda look to be tiring ever so slightly, a couple of corners in quick succession failing to yield a goal.

First sub of the game as Johnny Kenny replaces Conan Noonan.

Heeney denied by the post! Heeney finds himself in space from 35 yards out and fires a shot that looks destined for the top corner and is cruelly denied by the post.

Luke Heeney carded for a late challenge.

Watts takes another crack from outside of the box-this time his shot balloons over the bar. Rovers are certainly looking more threatening.

Dylan Watts strikes the crossbar! A scramble in the box sees the ball deflected of the feet of Luke Heeney and fall to the feet of Watts on the edge of the box, the midfielder smashing the bar on to Wogan's crossbar before going out of play.

Drogheda get the second half underway!

Half-time. Drogheda United 0-0 Shamrock Rovers.

Two minutes of added time to be played in Weaver's Park.

Rooney picks up the ball on the left wing and whips in a well-placed cross for Adam Foley who fails to get a solid piece of contact on the ball as play restarts with a Leon Pohls' goal kick.

Dayle Rooney lines up a free-kick from 25 yards out that fails to clear the wall and falls back into Shamrock Rovers' possession.

As first halves go this one has been pretty drab so far...Burke's effort in the first ten minute the only shot on target so far.

So far Shamrock Rovers have managed 137 successful passes to Drogheda's 34.

Watts send in a free-kick from Drogheda's corner flag that is over-hit and balloons over the head of all players in the box, Sean Kavanagh going in chase to keep the ball in play.

Drogheda are furious about a potential penalty call not being awarded! A counter attack sees Darragh Markey break into the box and is subsequently brought down by Graham Burke who goes shoulder to shoulder with Markey. Referee Kevin O'Sullivan waves the Drogheda players' claims away and it looks to be the correct call on replay.

Burke fizzes a shot from outside of the box that's hit with pace. The effort's directed straight at Andrew Wogan in goal who doesn't handle it convincingly, the ball spilling from his hands before eventually collecting moments later.

The game panning out as expected so far-Rovers lapping up most of the ball but not able to create many dangerous chances given Drogheda's tenacious pressing.

Drogheda's paper-thin squad depth exemplified by Ryan Brennan leading the line for the hosts-as well as playing as a forward, the midfielder has also been forced to play as a makeshift centre back this season.

Shamrock Rovers get proceedings underway in Weaver's Park!

Some technical issues involving the goal netting means we'll be getting a slightly delayed kick-off.

Drogs' new signing Jamie Egan starts on the bench tonight while Adam Foley leads the line and attempts to fill the chasm Draper's absence has left in the side. Jack Byrne remains out of the Rovers squad for the second week in a row despite Bradley insisting the midfielder had recovered from the knock that kept him out against Dundalk. Lee Grace and Gary O'Neill are also out of the squad with injury, while Conan Noonan makes a rare start in the midfield.

Rovers\\\' boss Stephen Bradley knows his team\\\'s poor record against Drogheda this season may linger on their minds, their first meeting ending in a 1-1 draw with two Rovers\\\' red cards. Speaking ahead of the match, Bradley said: \\\"We know we’ll have a difficult game, but if you offer us the performance that we had against Drogheda in Tallaght, we’ll take it, with a different outcome. If we bring that level of performance we won’t be too far away.” “Drogheda’s game has always been to defend deep and play in transition and they have been good at that against certain teams and won games that way, we know how that’s they play as well as being efficient in the final third, and we have to respect that and be good in those moments. We controlled the majority of the game in Tallaght but we weren’t good in those moments and they punished us.”

Drogs' last match finished a 1-1 draw with Cork City in Turner's Cross, Doherty believing the game was a microcosm of the entire season, a promising displayed soured by a lack of cutting edge and clinical finishing. "When you look at the key chances, I don’t think they [Cork] had many,” he said after the game. “Similar to last week and the week before, we had some really, really good chances to kill the game.”

Drogheda have struggled for form as of late, picking up just six points since that win over Rovers in May. Doherty's already thin squad has been dealt has a further blow with the recall of Freddie Draper and Elicha Ahui from their respective loan spells, the signing of Bristol City's Jamie Egan offering temporary respite.

Evening folks and welcome along to tonight's match coverage of Drogheda United vs Shamrock Rovers. Drogheda came out the victors the last time the two sides met, Kevin Doherty's men pulling off a spectacular 2-1 win in Tallaght Stadium. The Hoops will hope to make amends for that loss this evening as well as attempt to recover from a slight wobble in form, last week's 2-0 loss to Dundalk shaving their league lead down to four points with St. Patrick's Athletic hot in pursuit.
