It was no more than the city side deserved, as they looked to be in for a drubbing early in the game when they fell four points behind in the opening 10 minutes. Displaying commendable heart and commitment, Nick’s hung in there, and indeed were shaping as likely winners when substitute Liam Coughlan gave them the lead for the first time with nine minutes to go.

In the final analysis, both sides were glad to settle for the draw. Dohenys selector Cathal Crowley felt it was the right result, but felt his side had won it after they went a point clear in injury- time.
