St Patrick’s Athletic FC

The Super Saints had an amazing run in the league last season finishing 3rd in the league with just 4 points behind league Champions Shelbourne and emerging as the team with the most goals scored in last season's league campaign. The Super Saints scored a whopping 51 goals in the league last season with Jake Mulraney emerging as the top scorer for the team. They’ve had some additions to the team and they are supercharged for the new season. They’ve done well in their Club Friendlies game as they won the two games played. 

Drogheda United

Drogheda United had a very poor campaign in the league last season as they finished at the second-bottom of the league and had to fight for their place this season in the relegation playoff zone. They defeated Bray Wanderers in a one-leg knockout promotional game which earned them their spot in the league of Ireland Championship this season. The game ended in a 1-3 victory to Drogheda. Drogheda must start the season on a good note but they gave the challenges and attacking force of the Super Saints on Friday.
