Drogheda 0-0 Dundalk
Pierrot does well to win a free on the edge of the box. Drogs take it quickly and Markey very nearly gets the shot away. Big let-off for the Lilywhites.

Drogheda United v Dundalk LIVE stream, score updates and more from LOI Premier Division clash
The sides clash at Weavers Park this afternoon.
Drogheda United take on arch-rivals Dundalk this afternoon in a hotly anticipated Louth Derby at Weavers Park.
Kick-off for this afternoon's bank holiday clash is fixed for 1pm, with streaming available live on LOI TV.
Alternatively, you can follow our blog below for live updates from Weavers Park between two sides who could be battling relegation come the end of the season.
The Drogs have been hard to beat at home this season, but that stubbornness hasn't seen them win many games and as a result, they find themselves ninth in the table.
They did win their last home game however, a comfortable 3-1 win over fellow relegation rivals Sligo Rovers.
Dundalk are the only team below Drogheda in the league and they have just 9 points from their first 13 games. However, with new manager Noel King at the helm, many expect a bounce to follow and results to improve.

Drogheda 0-0 Dundalk
Dundalk starting to get on top now. Mountney goes down in the box and the away support scream for a penalty. No complaints from the midfielder however, which probably explains why the spot-kick wasn't awarded.

Great ball from Heany picks out Davis at the back post, but his tame header is easily dealt with by Shelvey.

Still some sand on the pitch as evidenced by Weir's clearance there. Not as sandy as it was at the Sligo game a couple of weeks ago mind. It was like the Cobacabana that night!
