Gut-wrenching late U-17 defeat
Cork grab last-gasp goal
run of Killian Griffin who dribbled into the box and cannoned a shot across the goal, inches away from finding a pink jersey and a certain goal.
Neither Levingston nor Caellum Devlin-Travers could find the target from direct free-kicks and, with a number of delays for injuries, the game ticked into injury time.
Wexford were still the side pushing for the winner but once again found themselves picking the ball out of the net, having had an attacking set-piece moments before.
In Kerry it was a corner, and on Saturday Cork broke from a Wexford free-kick. Ricardo Dinanga drove into the box and blasted high past Hall in the Wexford net to send all three points back to Cork.
