Could be the weekend that Shels win the league or coujld be the weekend where Rovers or Derry take pole position.
Anythngs possible

Shels winning last week against Waterford could give them the confidence they were lacking to win against Drogs this Friday.
The Derry Pats match is the one that i think is most crucial as anything Rovers do is irrelvant unless Derry drop points to Pats.
I believe Derry will beat Shels on the last day so we need Derry to drop points against Pats to give us any hope even if we win both matches..

Oh and Come on Finner guiding UCD back to the top flight

We forgot that you exist tbh

I see all of Patrick McEleney, Hoban, Connolly and Coll will be out for Derry on Friday. Should level the playing field somewhat with it looking like Pats will also be missing Mulraney, Elbouzedi and Melia

Somebody else in that Derry squad will just have to step up and not score, then.

Add in Dummigan and Ben Doherty and that's six of the backline out. Meanwhile, Sam Todd sits on loan to Larne and will be playing tonight.

I'd say this is where we're finally put out of our misery. Despite our really good record against Pat's this year, we're in a horrible run of form, whilst Pat's are in the opposite. I can't see us not conceding, and with our lack of goals recently, it's a huge ask to get the win.

Looks a good crowd out in Bray.

The joke would’ve worked better if one of the players mentioned wasn’t the top goalscorer in the entire league!

Bray 2 up on UCD,UCD not in the best of form for the last month and a half of the season results wise and maybe paying for it now…
Athlone 1 up on Wexford too,silly challenge from the Wexford defender for Athlones penalty .

The worry for them is their home form tends to be worse than their away form.

Bit of football to be played yet, but an Athlone vs Bray final is probably not what people were predicting.

With the 8th place gone Drogs will be in Cup Final/Play-off zone. Shels at home tonight should all but wrap it up.

**sbgawa** · 25/10/2024, 1:37 PM

The win against Waterford has given them a lift. I expect them to win tonight but live in hope

**2 Year Contract** · 25/10/2024, 2:34 PM

Promotion Relegation final venue confirmed as Richmond Park

That should be the case. It is a good test for Drogheda ahead of the cup final though. At least a draw tonight and a good result against their local rivals will have them set for two cup finals.
