Turley to the rescue for Down
That they achieved a draw was most satisfying to Down, who had to play most of the second-half of the opening regulation game, without their star scoring forward Paul Braniff who received a red card five minutes into the half.
Leading by three points at that stage London seized their opportunity and scored seven unanswered points in the final 20 minutes to take a three-point lead. But two minutes into added time Down centre-back Conor Woods fired a 35m free to the London net to send the game to extra-time while London’s left half back Lee Mackey received a second yellow card and was dismissed with seconds remaining.
