Clancy's men on the road again

Trim man Timmy Clancy and his Drogheda Utd team will be on the road to Donegal on Friday for a crunch second-leg First Division play-off tussle with Finn Harps.

The sides played a 1-1 draw at United Park on Friday night and the formbook would suggest that in Ballybofey the Harps will have too much ammunition for Drogheda.

The tie is likely to attract a large crowd to Finn Park as the Donegal men go in search of a place back in the Premier League next season. 

However, Clancy took his team to Tolka Park two weeks ago trailing 0-1 from the first-leg of the first play-off against Shelbourne and won through on penalties. 

The winner of Friday night's tie will face the ninth-placed Premier Division side, Limerick, in a two-leg Premier League play-off.
