Minor Fooball

A point ten minutes into injury time earned Cappawhite Gaels (1-9) a draw with MacDonaghs (3-3) in the county semi-final that was played in Templederry.  A diagonal wind hampered efforts by both sides and after a first half in which defences reigned supreme the West champions led by 0-2 to 0-1 at the interval. In the second period MacDonaghs seized the initatiative and a brace of goals from Matthew Spain and one from Fionnan Minogue put them in control. However, Cappawhite rallied in added time to snatch a draw.
