POST MATCH REACTION: Dunne and Curran

Galway United recorded a hard-earned victory against Drogheda United at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday evening.

In the 3rd minute, Enda Curran dinked the ball over defender Neil Yadolahi before turning Drogheda United captain Alan Byrne with a backheel, he then found the bottom corner of Michael Sclingermann’s net with a fine strike.

20 minutes later, Galway United were reduced to 10 men when Samuel Oji was adjudged to have fouled Tiarnan Mulvenna in a goal scoring position.

Despite playing with 10 men for over 65 minutes, Galway United weren’t really troubled by the Boynesiders and Tommy Dunne’s side secured a well earned first victory of the season ahead of a difficult away trip to Turners Cross to face Cork City.
