’Haven snatch dramatic draw

THERE was pulsating drama at the death in Bandon last night as 13-man Castlehaven conjured up a stirring revival to snatch a draw, 2-7 to 0-13, against Ballincollig in the fourth round of the Evening Echo Cork SFC.

Roland Whelton’s dismissal for a second yellow card in the 56th minute looked to have killed off Castlehaven’s aspirations, after they had earlier in the half lost full-back Liam Collins when he was also sent-off for a second booking, and they trailed by 0-13 to 2-5.

But in the 59th minute Castlehaven were thrown a lifeline when they were awarded a hotly-contested penalty after a dubious foul on Bernie Collins.
