Kavanagh scores a late leveller for Valleymount

at Stratford card was the call from the ref.

Alan Kealy dispatched the ball past the goalkeeper and into the net. Kevin Bracken pointed to increase the lead for the home side.

Ultan Rooney brought off another world class save from the boot of Amby Miley. On the stroke of half time Kavanagh pointed from an acute angle to leave it 1-1 to 0-3 in favour of the home side.

Jody Doyle pointed before Sean Geoghan goaled to put the Reds ahead with 36 minutes played. Rooney once again saved from Kevin Hughes.

The physios and medical people were in constant demand in every part of the pitch providing treatment and water. Nigel O’Neill pointed and Stratford introduced Dermot Phelan who majestically pointed in the first minute of injury time.

Norton put the home side two up in the third minute and when hero Ultan Rooney unbelievably stretched full length to put the ball out for a 45 it looked curtains for the Reds.

However, Sean Geoghan pointed in the sixth minute and Valleymount won a free in the seventh minute of added time and William Kavanagh zeroed in on his target with the Glen of Imaal Firing Range in the backdrop of the posts and pointed to level the game on the full-time whistle.
