Former Fulham winger Damien Duff recorded his first win as a manager last night as Shelbourne produced a professional performance to secure a 2-0 victory at Drogheda.
Second half strikes from Dan Hawkins and Mark Coyle – the latter a classic breakaway finish in injury time – sealed a maiden League of Ireland success for Duff, whose move into management made quite the splash in his homeland this winter. His charges had to weather a significant period of pressure from the home side before picking up a first win of the new season.
