Murphy point denies Vincent’s

A POINT by James Murphy two minutes from time earned Glanmire a deserved draw in a tremendously exciting Evening Echo county premier IFC final at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

Murphy was under enormous pressure to score from 45 metres out, but he displayed marvellous composure to split the posts with a superb kick, and his side got a chance to win the game in injury time. However, Daniel Molden’s effort from a 45 was poorly struck and was easily cleared.

With the Munster championship planned for next Sunday, the likelihood is that the replay will be played under lights on Wednesday night, but with players at college and working out of the county, Glanmire are unlikely to agree to that date.
