Davy happy as Déise battle

HONOURS even in Semple Stadium yesterday, with 6,665 people on hand for this entertaining draw in the NHL Division One.

The Déise can thank old warhorses Dan Shanahan and Eoin Kelly for their late equaliser – Shanahan won the injury-time free which Kelly converted for the draw – and their manager Davy Fitzgerald was happy his side had fought to the very end.

“No matter when we’ve gone down, or up, we’ve kept working hard,” Fitzgerald said.
