Drogheda United 2 Shelbourne 0
Adam Wixted scored twice to leave Drogheda needing just a point to seal their place in the First Division play-offs.
Wixted shot Drogheda in front with a crisp half volley on 20 minutes.
And the midfielder was there again to seal the win just before the hour mark.
Against the run of play, the home side broke with the ball finding Wixted who cut inside two defenders before firing to the net.
