AIRTRICITY PREMIER LEAGUE
Cork City 1 Shelbourne 1
There was more late drama at Turner's Cross last night as substitute Darren Tinnelly stole a point with the last kick of the game to give Shelbourne a crucial point. Danny Murphy eased the home supports' fears with a 65th-minute goal but Tinnelly bundled home in the fourth minute of injury time.
In a largely uneventful opening half, Cork’s Ian Turner, Daryl Kavanagh and Daryl Horgan wasted good chances.
The early moments of the second half followed a similar pattern, with Horgan forcing Niall Burdon into a decent save. At the opposite end Dean Kelly fizzed wide, but Cork soon eased the tension through left-back Murphy.
With Stephen Hurley lying clutching his leg, Shelbourne wanted play to be halted but referee Dave McKeon allowed the game to continue and Daryl Horgan hit a delightful cross in from the left which Murphy finished.It looked like Cork were going to hold on but a goalmouth scramble ended with Tinnelly bundling home.
