O’Connor to the rescue for Newtown
Down by two at the break, Piarsaigh thundered into the game on the changeover, grabbed a goal early into the second half and had another disallowed for a square ball infringement before the magnificent Padraig Gould’s late point looked to have given the city side a shock win.
However, Newtown, showing marvellous composure, carved open the chance for O’Connor to land the equalising point to earn his side a second bit of the cherry.
