Peadar Mogan rescued a draw for St Naul’s against Buncrana in a tense Intermediate Championship clash at Mountcharles last night.
St. Naul’s 1-9 Buncrana 0-12
Mogan (above), this year’s Donegal minor captain, kept his cool with a pair of added time frees to earn the stalemate.
The home side lead by 1-6 to 0-4 at half-time.
The goal came from a penalty by Stuart Johnston after Daniel Brennan had been fouled.
Johnston, Brennan, Mogan and Barry Griffin shared the points for the home team in the first half.
After struggling to get into the game in that opening half Buncrana were much improved in the second period.
Odhran and Oisín Doherty kicked four in a row between them to get Buncrana back in the game, before points by Darrach O’Conner and John Campbell had The Scarvey men.
Despite picking up a couple of black cards Buncraca went two up when Campbell scored again.
Mogan replied but Caolan McGonigle pointed a 45 to make it a two-point lead again.
In injury time Mogan kicked two frees to earn St. Nauls a draw.
