Drogheda United return to action this evening as they take on Galway United in Sullivan and Lambe Park.
The Boynesiders come into the game following a scoreless draw at home to Bohemians on Friday, in a match that saw both sides create chances but fail to find a breakthrough.
Drogheda had the first opportunity of the game just four minutes in when Warren Davis played Mark Doyle through on goal, but the forward fired over the bar. Conor Bolger then went close with a header that drifted just over, before Dawson Devoy broke through later in the half, only to be denied by a crucial goal saving challenge from Agbaje.
Bohemians had the final chance of the opening half when Colm Whelan capitalised on a defensive error to go through on goal, but his effort was well saved by Dennison.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Drogheda again coming closest to scoring when Doyle’s diving header was cleared off the line by Sam Todd.
The game was later halted for a lengthy period after Shane Farrell required treatment. Following the restart, Sadou Diallo had the final chance of note, with his effort pushed over the bar by Dennison.
Speaking after the match, manager Kevin Doherty provided an update on Farrell, saying: “He seems to be okay. I don’t know exactly what happened, but he seems to be okay. That’s absolutely the most important thing.”
On Saturday, the club confirmed Farrell had been discharged from hospital, posting on social media: “Drogheda United can confirm that Shane Farrell has been released from hospital, and will continue to be monitored by our medical staff. Our thanks to our medical team, (Bohemians) medical team and St John’s Ambulance for their response and care last night.”
Drogheda United will be without Shane Farrell, Scott Brady, and Owen Lambe, who are all sidelined through injury.
