Waterford FC welcome Drogheda United FC to the RSC tomorrow evening for their latest SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division meeting.
In what is the Blues' second-last home league game of the 2024 campaign, they will look to finish the season in a strong-vein of form in what has been their first year back in the top flight of Irish football.

A 4-2 win in Weavers Park in the second game of the season got our season off to a strong start, before a second 4-2 win – this time at the RSC in May – as the Blues recovered from to-goals down to defeat Drogheda thanks to an inspired performance from Padraig Amond that saw him net an impressive 13-minute hat-trick.
