Ryan Brennan bags brace as Drogheda United fightback foils Shelbourne

Ryan Brennan showed Damien Duff exactly what he was missing with a two-goal display as Drogheda United put a halt to Shelbourne's momentum.

Dayle Rooney, like Brennan a player who turned out for Shels last season, also netted and set up both of his team-mate's goals in a memorable comeback win for the hosts.

Jack Moylan had handed the visitors an early lead but it was to prove a false dawn with the Reds’ three-match winning sequence coming to an end. For Drogheda, there is now even more space between them and the bottom two which should end fears of a late season collapse.
