BOTH TEAMS CARRIED huge momentum into this game in Ardee, but Louth prevailed in the end with a Sam Mulroy penalty proving crucial by the end.
The home side scored the game’s only goal after the first quarter of the game. A Sam Mulroy free dropped short, but Kieran McArdle was immediately dragged down. Mulroy himself stepped up to convert and give Derry a lead they would not relinquish.
Derry had their own chance from a spot kick when Shane McGuigan was upended by Daire Nally. However, Wee county goalkeeper Niall McDonnell was equal to McGuigan’s penalty kick in a man of the match performance for the custodian.
At the time of writing, Louth now join Derry, Meath and Cork level at the top of the table on eight points.
