Graham Callanan goal earns replay for St Nicks

In a lop sided first-half, Dohenys led 0-5 to 0-2 after the first quarter, with Donal Rice’s point for the West Cork side after a penetrating run the pick of the bunch. St Nicks defending in numbers struggled for chances, but got three points without reply in the last three minutes of the half, 0-5 apiece at the break.

In a tight contest, Dohenys struck for a crucial goal in the 36th minute, as Jamie Carroll’s long ball into the box deceived the goalkeeper and rolled into the net. With scores at a premium, Dohenys led 1-7 to 0-7 with ten minutes remaining, until St Nicks were awarded a penalty. Robert Brosnan stepped up, his shot was saved, but came back out nicely for Brosnan to tap in.
