Stephen O’Keeffe rescues draw for Ballygunner

Stephen O’Keeffe saved a last minute penalty from Shane Ryan to salvage a draw for holders Ballygunner against 14-man De La Salle at Walsh Park on Saturday evening.

Gunners boss Denis Walsh was grateful for the late intervention from the Waterford shot-stopper. “We were lucky to get something out of the game to be truthful. We had a great start but we faded badly.”

Pauric Mahony played the full hour on his first competitive start in over twelve months. The 24 year old chipped in with ten points. “It was like he was never away,” Walsh remarked.
