Egan saves Saints with dramatic late equaliser

Lixnaw 1-10 St Brendan’s Ardfert 0-13

Lixnaw led by five points with 12 minutes remaining but couldn’t withstand the late Egan-inspired heroics which forced a replay, likely to be Sunday week, October 27th in Tralee.

Despite the low scoring, it was entertaining throughout, with St Brendan’s, who were trying to end a 23-year famine, marginally the better side in the opening half, thanks to the outstanding performances from their three Kerry senior players — Darran Dineen, Rory Horgan and the mercurial Egan.
