Drogheda United 1 Finn Harps 2: TWO SECOND-HALF goals from Stephen Parkhouse saw Finn Harps come from behind to secure three precious points in their bid to avoid relegation. The visitors looked to be heading for defeat until they equalised against the run of play approaching the hour mark and despite Drogheda still looking in control the Donegal men scored a late winner.
Finn Harps looked the more assured side early but as the half wore on Drogheda went close to scoring when Adam Hughes's header was saved by James Gallagher in the Harps goal. The home side hit the front nine minutes from the break when a Fahrudin Kuduzovic shot moved wickedly in flight for Declan O'Brien to apply the finishing touch.
Harps levelled when McCafferty's cross was headed home at the far post by the unmarked Parkhouse. Then seven minutes from time Conor Gethins shot was saved by Skinner but the loose ball fell to Parkhouse who hammered home.
