PLAYER RATINGS

Stephen McGuinness: 7/10: Rarely tested by Drogheda. Handling was good and he even threw in some timewasting.

Niall Cooney: 7/10: Was up against the formidable Gavin Brennan. Can be pleased with his performance.

Adam Mitchell: 7/10: Helped to ensure the Drogheda strikeforce had a miserable evening.

David Webster: 8/10: Loved his battle. Always seems to make the vital interceptions.

Rob Maloney: 8/10: Surprisingly good in the air and has now put his Bohemians horror show behind him.

Dave Scully: 8/10: Credit where it’s due. Took the goal well and helped out in defence.

Graham Kelly: 8/10: Left the field on a stretcher after another glowing performance.

Dean Zambra: 7/10: He gives the midfield it’s bite. Never shirks anything.

Shane O’Neill: 8/10: What a goal. A decent way to impress in his first start of the season.

David Cassidy: 8/10: Give him the ball, sit back. Watch. Enjoy.

Ismahil Akinade: 7/10: For all the good he did, he has some making up to do after such a horrendous miss. Subs Gary Curran and Michael Brown: Not on long enough to mark.
