Drogheda United breathed new life into their season last night with a derby day victory over Dundalk, courtesy of a Dean Williams penalty in the second half.
Kevin Doherty’s side were full value for their victory against their fierce rivals from the north of the county. That was despite having to navigate a growing injury list and enduring a start to the campaign that had many observers wondering if a season of struggle awaited.
