Rearcross 'B' 2 - Nenagh Celtic 'B' 2

Rearcross 'B' had to come from behind twice to earn a share of the spoils against Nenagh Celtic 'B' in a Third Division league game played in Rearcross last Sunday morning. Adrian Ryan had the ball in the back of the Nenagh net in the 10th minute, however his effort was disallowed for an offside infringement. Nenagh Celtic took the lead in the 20th minute when Seanie Tanner converted from the penalty spot. Paul Murphy equalised ten minutes before half time with a great goal from a free kicked outside the eighteen yard box. Rearcross enjoyed the better of the exchanges in the second half and were unlucky not to have gone ahead in the 58th minute when Liam Nolan's attempt was cleared off the line. Celtic's keeper Dwain Fletcher denied a fine solo effort from Declan O'Toole with a splendid reflex save in the in the 73rd minute. The game finished at a hectic pace when Nenagh substitute Robert Ryan got behind the Rearcross defence and slipped the ball past Anthony Ryan with four mintes left on the clock. An all out effort by Rearcross 'B' saw Matthew Ryan(L) snatch a dramatic equaliser in the dying seconds of the game with a magnificent strike from all of thirty yards that left the Nenagh keeper helpless.
