MU20 vs Finn Harps

Drogheda United U20s played their first home game of the season on Saturday against Finn Harps in DIFE.

The first half saw few chances in the game, with both sides limited to chances from distance and set pieces.

Harps threatened from a corner early in the second half, but defender Sean McCarthy was there to head clear off the line.

Drogheda pushed for a winner, going close on two occasions with headers from Taylor Mooney and Dare Kareem.

The winner did come late however, in the 95th minute when McCarthy’s ball set Dare away. Dare broke clear of the defence, and slotted past the keeper to earn a deserved three points.

MU15 vs Finn Harps

Drogheda MU15s kicked off their home campaign against Finn Harps. After a very good start, we couldn’t capatilise after being on the front foot. We created a few chances, as did Finn Harps. After bombarding our box with a lot of corners, one went against a strong defensive unit, and we conceded on the 35th minute.

1-0 down at halftime, the lads came out strong in the second half. Once again, we had chances to draw the game, but it wasn’t to be. We regroup and go again next week with a trip to Derry!

WU17 vs Bohemians

Drogheda United WU17 played Bohemians in their first away game of the season. In a very competitive first half there were chances for both teams and Bohemians got the first goal late in the half.

Bohemians added two more in the second half with Drogheda Utd WU17 coming close on a number of occasions.

Drogheda United WU17 have a serious work rate and at times played outstanding football and based on this performance their first win of the season isn’t far away.

Next up for the girls is a home vs Dundalk, March 15!
