Drogheda are beginning to find consistency after coming up from the First Division a couple of years back and will continue to look to move up the table with European places in sight.
A team capable of upsetting any team on their day as seen last season, constantly proving tricky for title winners Shamrock Rovers on a number of occasions.

A dominant second-half performance sees Shelbourne overcome the challenge of the ten men of Drogheda United in a 4-2 win at Weaver’s Park this evening, securing fourth place in the Premier Division table.
(more…)LOI PD Preview: Drogheda United v Shelbourne
With their European dreams hanging in the balance, Shelbourne travel to Weaver’s Park to face Drogheda United this evening knowing that a win will secure fourth in the league table and the potential of European football next season.
Shelbourne face Drogheda for the final time in their four-game season series in which the Reds have picked up points in every meeting so far - winning the most recent game at Tolka Park 3-2 after drawing both at home and away earlier in the year.
Drogheda have secured seventh place in the Premier Division, and due to the fact that Bohemians are 14 points clear of the Boynesiders, the home side will have ‘nothing’ to play to cap off their season.
Regardless of the possibility of Drogheda moving up or down the table, Kevin Doherty’s men will certainly hope to put on a show for their ravenous home fans as they move into the off-season.
The side from Weaver’s Park played their penultimate league match at the Showgrounds in an uneventful meeting against Sligo Rovers on Saturday night - the only talking point being the game being delayed due to pyrotechnics being thrown onto the pitch by a small section of the home fans.
On the other hand, Shelbourne squeaked by UCD on Friday night in Jack Moylan’s farewell to the home fans at Tolka Park in a bizarre 3-2 victory for Damien Duff’s side.
Moylan scored a hattrick as a parting gift to the Shelbourne fans helping his team erase two unusual goals from the students, and with the win, sent them ahead of Bohemians into fourth.
Speaking ahead of their side to Drogheda, Duff was complimentary of the work Kevin Doherty and the Drogheda players have done this season but is confident in his side's ability to get one final league win.
“We’re highly motivated to win,” said the Shelbourne manager, “We can’t get carried away looking at the bigger picture, points, permutations and goal difference. Park it! We’re going to win the game. It’s as simple as that. We’re not overthinking it. We’re going to try to get the best team on the pitch and play on the front foot.”
It’s a hard game, there are not many places in the league as difficult as Weavers Park - it’s not going to be an easy task,” he added, “I’m highly respectful of the job Kevin Doherty has done.
“There’s some former Shelborune lads there who have an added incentive to turn us over. We need to be ready for that, go in with calm heads and do our job.”
Hull loanees Will Jarvis and Harry Wood have shaken off knocks sustained at the end of the UCD game and are available for Shelbourne. Conor Kearns has recovered from a virus and will return between the sticks while J.R. Wilson is also an option for Duff.
For Kevin Doherty and Drogheda, Ryan Brennan and Dylan Grimes will miss the final game of the season while Darragh Markey is doubtful after limping off against Sligo last weekend. Conor Kane is unavailable to play against his parent club due to the terms of his loan to Drogheda.
Kick-off at Weaver’s Park is at 7:45 p.m.
