However the home side pulled level moments later, substitute Weir firing past Harps’ goalkeeper Mark McGinley. Drogheda then took the lead in the 90th minute, former Harps player Foley meeting a Ryan Brennan cross at the near post, although the Harps bench felt there was a foul during the build-up to the goal.DIFFERENTLY Get closer to the stories that matter with exclusive analysis, insight and debate in The42 Membership.
