Dundalk’s hopes of catching Shamrock Rovers at the top of the SSE Airtricity Premier Division suffered a major blow at the hands of Louth rivals Drogheda tonight.
Dean Williams’ first-minute strike was enough to give Drogs a 1-0 win at Head In The Game Park.
Defeat leaves Dundalk ten-points off Rovers, but with only one game-in-hand.
Gavin Molloy helped Shelbourne end their Finn Harps hoodoo tonight, scoring twice in a 3-1 victory over Ollie Horgan’s side at Tolka Park.
Both games kicked off at 7.45pm.
