Fingal earn deserved draw

Shamrock Rovers 1 Sporting Fingal 1

A thorn in their side during his time at Bohemians, Glen Crowe’s first goal for Sporting deprived Shamrock Rovers of victory in this thriller at Tallaght Stadium.

In a frantic finish to a highly entertaining clash, Rovers stole the lead against the run of play on 86 minutes when James Chambers headed home Dessie Baker’s corner.

But Sporting hit back within in a minute to earn their fully deserved draw.

Conan Byrne’s corner was only parried away by Alan Mannus and Alan Kirby put the ball back across goal for substitute Crowe to head home.
