The hosts get the action underway here in Richmond!

Drogheda's last match finished a 0-0 draw with Bohemians. Speaking to club media at full-time, manager Kevin Doherty praised the return of Ryan Brennan to the starting XI: Probably the pleasing thing for me tonight was Ryan coming and doing really well, upfront he was that switch and gave them [Bohemians] a fair bit of trouble. “Probably the best thing for me tonight was we trained here Wednesday, and as a player, it can be boring sometimes, stop-start, but they stuck at it, Andrew [Wogan] made some really good saves.”

Manager Jon Daly stressed that now was not the time for complacency whilst speaking to club media: “It's another difficult game. There's no easy games in this league. We're going to have to do our homework, as all of our energy has gone into the game against Dundalk,” he said. “It's an exciting time of the season. We knew the game against Dundalk was going to be a big three points if we could get them. We managed to do that and we're delighted with that. We've plenty of other games coming up but we're going to put all our energy into getting the win against Drogheda on Monday.”

The Saints rallied back strongly last week following a disastrous loss to Shelbourne at the beginning of the month, beating Dundalk out 3-1 as Tommy Longergan struck for double. Their opponents tonight have proved themselves to be prickly opponents throughout the season, the last match between the two sides ending in a 2-1 win for Drogheda.

Evening all and welcome to tonight's match coverage of St. Patrick's Athletic vs Drogheda United. While Drogheda look set to cruise to league safety with six games to go, it remains all to play for Pats, a win holding the potential to take them just three points shy of league leaders Shamrock Rovers.
