Lightening strikes twice for 'Farm
Cobh had to fight to retain their Division 1 leadership as they came from 2-0 down at half-time to salvage
a point against Home Farm Fingal at Whitehall. For the hosts, it was certainly a case of deja vu, as they also fumbled a 2-0 lead last week at home to Limerick.
An excellent goal from Robbie Farrell, who shot home Richard Foran's cross, gave Home Farm a deserved 24th minute lead. Mark Patton's mis-hit cross, which looped in over Cobh goalkeeper John Donegan, added to that three minutes before the interval.
Farm should have learned from last week's error to go on and win the game. However, Cobh battled back into the game and dominated the latter half. Having missed several chances from play, accuracy from set-pieces ultimately earned Cobh a point. A penalty, calmly scored by Donal Golden, on 62 minutes got them back into the game,
before Willie Byrne drilled home their equaliser from a 20 yard free-kick with just two minutes from the end.
Lightening had struck again for Fingal, who now have a miserable tally of two pointsfrom a possible nine.
