Another miserble night at the brandywell for the candystripes as once again they lose to Drogheda.
Derry actully started the game brighter and Rory Patterson had a chance to make it 1-0 to Derry but they went wide after a poor cross from Paddy Kavanagh.
Drogheda could have taken the lead on the 18th minute when a mistake from Eoghan Osbourne allowed Cathal Brady to cross the ball to Gavin Brennan whos shot went over the bar but soon after Fabio O`Brein had a chance when he beat the offisde trap but Gerrard Doherty came to Derry`s rescue and it remained 0-0.
Derry`s best chance came on the 30th minute when Patrick Mc Eleney took a shot which did trouble Schilngerman and Paddy Kavangh`s corner went to patterson whos shot was saved and Ruadhri Higgans sent the ball well over the net.
Drogheda took the lead on the 38th minute Fabio O`Brein who has been a real thorn in the side for Derry over the years took a shot but it was defecled off Gerrard Doherty who appered to have taken an injury and Gavin Brennan took advantage and made it 1-0 to Drogheda.
