Seamus Brown earned Harps their first point of the season with a stoppage time equaliser to lift them off the bottom of the table.

Jonathan Minnock lofted the ball long into the Rovers box with 92 minute up on the clock and the young striker, playing because Chris Breen failed a fitness test, headed past Russell Payne.

Paul Caffrey looked to have won it for Rovers when putting them in front on 78 minutes.

A skipper Trevor Molloy backheel put Pat McCourt away to the end line and his pull back was driven home by substitute Caffrey.
