Mullinalaghta saviour James McGivney who scored a brilliant goal in stoppage time to earn his side a draw against Killoe in the SFC quarter-final.
Thanks to a brilliantly struck goal from the boot of James McGivney in stoppage time Mullinalaghta are still in the Senior Football Championship as they snatched a draw against Killoe in a dramatic finish at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Saturday evening.
Killoe Emmet Og . . . 0-14 Mullinalaghta St Columba’s . . . 2-8
Emmet Og appeared to be coasting to victory when they established a commanding 0-9 to 0-1 lead with 18 minutes gone on the clock but were left to rue the squandering of a couple of clear-cut goal chances in the first half along with a missed penalty in the second half when Larry Moran’s kick was saved by St Columba’s keeper Patrick Rogers.
Mullinalaghta managed to close the gap as they trailed by 0-11 to 0-6 at the break and got right back into contention with a goal from John Keegan with less than a minute gone on the changeover.
It was a tight contest from there until the end of this intriguing quarter-final clash and both teams were reduced to 14 players when David McGivney (49th minute) and Sean McCormack (53rd minute) were sent-off for second yellow card offences.
