Desmond’s magnificent late point saves Youghal

YOUGHAL snatched a dramatic draw with Tracton in an exhilarating Evening Echo Premier Cork Co IHC third round clash at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

Trailing for most of a super contest, Youghal patiently clawed their way back and, on the stroke of normal time Leigh Desmond hit over the equalising point from 80 metres out on the touchline.

It was a sensational climax to a stirring encounter between two evenly match sides. Indeed it would have been rough justice if either team had lost.
