After Friday night’s 1-1 draw at Finn Park, Finn Harps and Drogheda United will do it all again tonight when the two sides meet again at Hunky Dory’s Park in the FAI Cup Quarter-Final replay.
As the only First Division club still left in the competition, it looked like Harps would pull off the shock of the round as they led through Kevin McHugh’s first half goal. However, with just five minutes remaining Mark Daly broke the Harps supporters hearts when he slotted home to give Drogheda a second chance on their own patch this evening.
On the team front, Ciaran Coll is suspended due to his red card on Friday while Michael Funston is unavailable due to work commitments.  Tommy McMonagle took a blow to his troublesome foot injury and is a doubt.  Sean McCarron though returns after a one game ban which saw him miss Friday’s initial game.
With a place in the semi-finals up for grabs, both teams will take the field already knowing who they will play should they make it with the draw due at 7pm.
Kick-off  is 7.45pm.
