Three points for Tim will keep the momentum going
Tim Clancy takes his Drogheda Utd side to the Brandywell for a live TV contest against bottom-of-the-table Derry City tomorrow evening looking to build on a 4-0 win away to Longford Town last weekend.
That win leaves Drogheda sitting fifth in the table, with seven points from four games, as the hosts look to recover from Tuesday night's home defeat against Shamrock Rovers.
For Drogheda Darragh Markey and Conor Kane are both doubtful after picking up injuries in the win over Longford Town.
FIXTURES AND FORECASTS
FRIDAY
Premier
Waterford v Bohemians: The Munster men are showing gradual improvement, but Bohs showed plenty against Dundalk last week and should win this. Verdict - Bohemians.
Derry City v Drogheda United, 7.45pm (Live on RTÉ2) - probably a good time for Drogheda to go to the Brandywell where they can pick up another three points. Verdict - Drogheda.
FIRST DIVISION
Bray Wanderers v Athlone Town: Surprise side Athlone could have their gallop halted at the Carlisle Grounds. Verdict - Bray.
Cork City v Shelbourne: Not too many years ago this would have been a clash of the big two but not now. Cork are finding it tough in the second tier. Verdict - Shelbourne.
Galway United v Treaty United: Two weeks since they played, but Galway need to win this one on the pitch. Verdict - Galway.
UCD v Cabinteely: Cabo get back to action after missing last week and should win. Verdict - Cabinteely.
Wexford v Cobh Ramblers: Difficult to see where Wexford will pick up points at the moment, but they should get three here for a start. Verdict - Wexford.
SATURDAY
Dundalk v St. Patrick’s Athletic: It doesn't get any easier for Dundalk and when Pat's are on form they are formidable - they are on form at the moment. Verdict - St Pat's.
Shamrock Rovers v Longford Town: When you are betting you always want a banker and this is one - a home win guaranteed. Verdict - Shamrock Rovers.
Sligo Rovers v Finn Harps: Both unbeaten and local rivalry added into the mix. Lots of long throws also guaranteed and the third guarantee is a home win. Verdict - Sligo Rovers.
