Lyons earns Galway point

Jason Lyons’ strike 13 minutes from time earned a point for SD Galway in their local derby against Mervue United at Terryland Park.

Damien O’Rourke had earlier headed Mervue into the lead straight from Alan Murphy’s 64th-minute corner, but substitute Lyons sealed a deserved point for the hosts.

After Pat Hoban’s header crashed off the post eight minutes in for Mervue, SD Galway took the lead five minutes later when former Mervue striker Enda Curran tucked past Brian O’Donoghue.
