In front of a passionate crowd, Drogheda displayed grit and determination, claiming their first FAI Cup title since 2005 and securing a place in European competition next season.
Andrew Quinn opened the scoring for Drogheda with a crucial first-half goal, putting his side ahead with a well-taken finish. Derry City pressed for an equalizer but couldn’t break through Drogheda’s solid defence. In the second half, Drogheda extended their lead when Douglas James Taylor netted a decisive goal, effectively sealing the victory.
This long-awaited triumph for Drogheda is not only a proud moment for the club and its supporters but also a ticket to European football. The team now faces another crucial test as they prepare for the League of Ireland promotion-relegation playoff against Bray Wanderers next week, where they’ll aim to maintain their momentum and push for survival.
