Bohemians 1 Drogheda United 0
Fergal Harkin got champions Bohs back to winning ways with the only goal of this poor game.
Drogheda keeper Gary Rogers could only parry a 62nd minute shot from Kevin Hunt and Glen Crowe set up Harkin to shoot home his first goal of the season.
Bohs striker Paul Keegan had two goals disallowed in a poor first half in which Drogheda, through Neil Tarrant and Mark Quinless, also came close to breaking the deadlock.
