Cashel had to depend on a last gasp free fired over the bar by Gavin Kelly to snatch a draw against Sean Connolly’s in the Intermediate Football Championship semi-final at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Saturday evening.
Cashel . . . 0-12 Sean Connolly’s . . . 0-12
After looking in trouble when they trailed by 0-11 to 0-7 midway through the second half, the Ballinalee boys battled back to hit over five points in a row, taking the lead in stoppage time when Joe Heaney was on target from close range.
While Connolly’s keeper Stephen Murtagh then came to the rescue in saving a goal attempt from Gavin Kelly, Cashel were awarded a free in this same attack and Kelly slotted over the equalising point.
