Waterford
can take some pride from this performance, played in atrocious weather
conditions the blues battled and scrapped and worked hard for the point
but it could and probably should have been more. In the first have the
Blues had the better of the exchanges and both Bradley and Moore came
very close to giving Waterford the lead .Drogheda's best chances came
from Brian Kelly and Derek Delaney. In the second half Gary Dempsey came
close with a free kick on was deflected out for a corner. Any of the Blues
fans that turned up for the match deserves great credit cause that was
not a night for football. Drogheda United now remain the only unbeaten
team in the first division.
