Drogheda Utd 3 Galway Utd 3:A MATCH of no significance produced a hatfull of goals as relegated Drogheda, after taking the lead, came from behind twice to earn a share of the spoils against a Galway side with one eye on their relegation play-off next week.
Drogheda took the lead after seven minutes when Peter McMahon’s corner was cleared but picked up by Brendan McGill who drove the ball home from 25 yards.
Derek O’Brien equalised on 15 minutes when he latched on to a poor clearance from a corner.
The visitors hit the front on the half-hour mark from a Karl Sheppard free, but the home side levelled matters eight minutes later when Conor Sinnott slipped the ball into McMahon to score.
Galway substitute Rory Gartland guided the ball to the net on 70 minutes, but Drogheda drew level 11 minutes from time in a route one move that saw Darragh McNamara fire home.
