Thought our best chance was to go up automatically and avoid the trip to Donegal but alas the 1-3 loss to bohs sunk us when it mattered. Ah well there's always next year *sighs*.

We have lost quite a few playoffs- at one time our record in them was atrocious, but in terms of home legs our record is something like 11 wins and 2 draws.

Another thing against Drogheda was the schedule, the third tough game in a week (the Cabo game may have been a big win but was in doubt well into the game) and then it goes to extra time. We were able to rest a lot of players for last Friday which was a help to us. As for the gap between the last league game and Drogheda's first playoff- that's just insane.

Yeah Neish Eric Lavine scored an absolute screamer for us down in Ballybofey. Think that was the first goal to that night also!
