Evan Comerford: Not that it could be condoned but going down as he did to waste John Small’s black card time and delay the penalty before saving it was clever. Solid otherwise. 7

Eoin Murchan: Forced to go off injured after overextending for a kick-out against Paudie Clifford and he was missed. Made some telling interventions and had the better of his opposite number Paul Geaney. 8
