Sweeney rescues Dubs at the death

DESPITE having led by six points at one stage, Dublin needed a Gary Sweeney point 90 seconds into injury time to rescue a draw in the ESB Leinster MFC final at Croke Park yesterday.

It looked like Darroch Mulhall had given Kildare their first title since 1991 when converting a free into Hill 16 on the hour but the sides must do it all again on Saturday.

Both teams started nervously but gradually Dublin began to get the upper hand around midfield, where Eoghan Keogh impressed.
