O’Neill snatches draw for Wicklow

Wicklow’s ace free-taker Jonathan O’Neill was back to near his best scoring form yesterday as his side secured a draw with Derry.

Having been beaten by Wicklow three times last year, Derry came to Aughrim fully determined to gain revenge.

And it looked as if they were going to achieve their objective as the game ticked over into injury-time and they were still a point ahead, 1-11 to 0-13. But then captain Enan Glynn fed the ball to Andy O’Brien in the right corner. The St. Patrick’s clubman rounded his man but was pulled down as he was about to bear down on the Derry goal.
