WATERFORD FC
Keith Long’s men welcome Drogheda United to the RSC this Friday for our latest SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division meeting. In what is our second-last home league game of the 2024 campaign, the Blues will look to finish the season in a strong-vein of form in what has been their first year back in the top flight of Irish football.
The Blues have had success against Friday’s opponents already this season, winning two of our three games to date against Kevin Doherty’s side. A 4-2 win in Weavers Park in our second game of the season got our season off to a strong start, before a second 4-2 win – this time at the RSC in May – as the Blues recovered from to-goals down to defeat Drogheda in-front of the Virgin Media cameras thanks to an inspired performance from Padraig Amond that saw him net an impressive 13-minute hat-trick.
Kevin Doherty’s side picked up their first points against the Blues in our recent league meeting in July in a two-nil score line, as both sides go head-to-head in our final meeting between the sides in 2024.
Waterford sit with 43 points to their name from 32 games so far this season, leaving the Blues occupy seventh spot in the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division table.
DROGHEDA UNITED FC
Drogheda United make the trip to the RSC on buoyed by their Sports Direct Men’s FACI Cup semi-final win over Wexford FC at Weavers Park last Sunday.
An injury-time winner courtesy of Adam Foley sent the Louth side to the Aviva Stadium showpiece event, where they will take on Derry City on November 10th.
Kevin Doherty’s side sit in ninth place in the league table, with 32 points on the board in as many games, as they look forward to an exciting end to their 2024 season.
