Nathan Boyle . . . Aodh Ruadh's saviour against Naomh Conaill
Hitting the last point of the game, only their second point of the second half, Aodh Ruadh shared the spoils with league leaders Naomh Conaill in Munday's Field.
Aodh Ruadh 1-8
Naomh Conaill 0-11
When these sides met at the same venue in the championship last year, it ended all square, and it was the same this time in Division 1 of the league.
Aodh Ruadh had the better of the first half and led at half-time by 1-6 to 0-5, but the current league holders, Naomh Conaill, showed their worth in the second half, reeling off six points to go ahead in the game for the first time in the 55th minute.
Then a free from Nathan Boyle got the home side a draw in added time.
Naomh Conaill had county panellist Charlie McGuinness on board and he hit three of their first half points with Brendan McDyer and John O'Malley also on target.
