Lucky 13 for United as Tierney strikes

MIKE TIERNEY’S header 13 minutes from time gave Mervue United a share of the spoils on their return to Fahy’s Field last night.

Cork City looked to have wrapped up the points when Eric Browne’s attempted clearance flew past his own goalkeeper, but the Mervue captain salvaged a point with his late strike.

After a scoreless opening 45 minutes, City took the lead when Browne sliced Gearóid Morrissey’s through ball viciously past the hapless Ger Hanley two minutes after the restart.
