DROGHEDA UNITED WERE relegated from the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division last night and it was clearly a bitter pill to swallow for club captain Mick Daly.
A 5-3 defeat for the Drogs away to Shamrock Rovers, coupled with Limerick’s 3-2 win in Sligo, has condemned the Louth side to First Division football for 2016, while Limerick will meet Finn Harps in a play-off as they bid to preserve their top-flight status.

Mick Daly took to Twitter to express his anger after Drogheda’s loss in Tallaght. While acknowledging his own role in their demise — “I captained a club to be relegated” — Daly stated that Drogheda were “a shambles” and “the worst team in the league by a mile” this season.
The former Manchester City youth also said that eight players “didn’t bother to show up” to training after Drogheda’s 6-0 derby defeat to Dundalk last month: “That was the day we got relegated. No fight, no passion.”
Thank you for all the support, absolutely heart broken tonight but facts be known we were the worst team in the league by a mile.
