Luke leaves it late to snatch Críost Rí draw

A GOAL by Luke Connolly five minutes from time earned Coláiste Chríost Rí a deserved draw in a highly entertaining Corn Uí Mhuirí first round tie at Cloughduv yesterday.

Luke leaves it late to snatch Críost Rí draw

The Cork college led from the third minute only to fall behind to a superb Noel Duggan goal in the 50th minute but weren’t to be denied at the finish. Indeed, only the crossbar denied them victory as Jordan Philpott’s well struck 40-metre free came back into play just before the final whistle.

Críost Rí started brightly and led 0-4 to 0-1 after just seven minutes, Cian Madden kicking two of his side’s points, and the defendingchampions had a right battle on their hands. The Sem hit back strongly and with Gary O’Leary giving them a grip on midfield, they were level after 20 minutes at 0-5 each, Jason Aherne contributing two points for the Killarney side.
