Steve Parish admits Crystal Palace may have to sell Marc Guehi this summer
Palace's second piece of silverware in 86 days – after winning the FA Cup in May – was a welcome reprieve from their ongoing legal battle, with the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) expected to rule on Monday whether they will play in the Europa League or Conference League this season. Marc Guehi lifts the Community Shield trophy (Adam Davy/PA) Guehi's contract expires at the end of this campaign and Sunday's opponents Liverpool are thought to be frontrunners to secure the signature of the 25-year-old England defender. 'Yes. I mean, we'd have to, of course,' said Parish, who is also co-owner, when asked if he would seriously entertain tempting bids for his skipper over the next three weeks. 'For players of that calibre to leave on a free, it's a problem. No doubt about it, unfortunately. 'We had one bid (last summer) but Joachim (Andersen) went (to Fulham) and we couldn't afford to lose both of them. We then had another bid in January but that was a difficult situation as well, and the player had a point of view on that one. 'So we just have to see what happens but it needs a new contract or a conclusion of some kind.' Guehi, suffering from cramp, came off late in second-half stoppage time at Wembley. It was his replacement, 21-year-old Northern Ireland international Justin Devenny, who ultimately fired home the winning penalty in the 3-2 shoot-out after the sides remained locked in a 2-2 stalemate at the end of normal time. Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish congratulates his players (Adam Davy/PA) Palace boss Oliver Glasner is adamant the Eagles need at least two more quality additions – even before any potential departures – while other top talent including Eberechi Eze, who has been linked to Arsenal, might also be lured away. 'I think in the end, people trade players. That's what football clubs do,' said Parish. 'If you just don't care about reinvigorating the team, you don't care about tomorrow, ever, you just put it all off. 'Then, we're a fantastic team, you know and if we had four more players, I don't know what we could achieve but unfortunately it's not always as simple as that.' Parish pointed to the 'crazy' and 'just nuts' fees for players and the club's outgoings this year. 'We'll have to see,' added the chairman. 'We'll do whatever we can. We won't stop working and we will do whatever we can. 'But as far as people being here or not being here, it depends. If it's the right decision for the football club and for them, nobody can make anyone go, then there will be some changes, but you've got to make smart ones.'

Dare Kareem (19) proves the Drogheda winner on his first start, delivering the only goal against Galway
The 19-year-old striker was handed a first full start by Kevin Doherty and repaid his manager handsomely with the goal that secured victory. For Doherty, this was his first managerial career win over John Caulfield. Since the Court of Arbitration of Sport decision which saw Drogheda expelled from the Uefa Conference League, they have now played two home games and won both 1-0. They remain a hard side to keep down. Kareem's winner arrived four minutes into the second half. It was Drogheda's one and only clear-cut opportunity in 98 total minutes of play. Owen Lambe's throw into the box was met once and then twice by Galway defenders, but neither cleared the ball. The striker – a St Patrick's Athletic academy product – showed lightning reactions to hook the ball beyond Evan Watts. Galway had dominated the first half but made nothing count. Stephen Walsh, back in favour now, had two shots on goal while wing-back Jeannot Esua mishit an effort. Canadian-born Trinidad and Tobago international Malcolm Shaw had an early goal ruled out by the offside flag too. If those of a Galway persuasion thought Kareem's goal might bring about a second-half onslaught, they were wrong. Luke Dennison was hardly troubled for the remainder and did not fall foul of the new eight-second rule affecting goalkeepers who like to hold onto the ball for a little longer than they should. DROGHEDA UNITED: Dennison; Quinn (Bolger, 70), Keeley, Harper-Bailey; Lambe, Brennan (Farrell, 72), Heeney, Kane; Markey; Oluwa, Kareem. GALWAY UNITED: Watts; Buckley (Brouder, 58), Cunningham (Horgan, 90+4), Slevin; Esua, Borden (Bolger, 72), Hurley (Piesold, 58), Burns; McCarthy; Walsh, Shaw (Tollett, 58).
