Dundalk snatch win over Drogheda in derby clash (Irish Examiner)

From start to finish, Drogheda United bested Dundalk in almost every way during an entertaining first derby of four to come in this Premier Division season.

When Darragh Leahy felled Dylan Grimes in the area with just four minutes of normal time to play, it seemed Drogheda would get at least a point. The game’s only goal arrived completely against the run of play and even the most optimistic Dundalk supporter would have struggled to convince they had seen it coming. He stole the ball off Andy Boyle in the penalty area but lashed a shot over.
