Kelleher keeps ’Collig alive

NO winner in yesterday’s Evening Echo Cork SFC second round clash in Newcestown, a glorious injury-time point by Ballincollig substitute Killian Kelleher ensuring a replay.

Kelleher keeps ’Collig alive

Rangers looked in control of their own destiny late on as they clung to a narrow one-point advantage and looked to work the ball out of defence. But Ballincollig pressurised them on the right wing and when the ball spilled loose, Kelleher swung over a beautiful left-foot shot. With time called soon after, Ballincollig were the upbeat camp in the aftermath.

But their satisfaction was not just extracted from their late revival, it also stemmed from the fact they kept themselves alive despite shouldering the liability of 14 men after midfielder Bryan Kelly was sent-off in the 18th minute. For Carbery Rangers it was a frustrating outcome as they looked to have survived this battle of the wills by holding scoreboard supremacy late on.
