Rathnew leave it late

Rathnew (Wicklow) 1-13 Rathvilly (Carlow) 1-09

Rathvilly had turned a two points deficit into a two points lead in the second-half and, with wind assistance, looked to be on course to advance to the second round.

But at the three-quarter-stage they were rocked when star centre-back Brendan Murphy was sent off on a second yellow. They looked to have weathered the storm leading 1-9 to 0-10 with five minutes remaining.
