StephenO'Flynn was the saviour for Limerick City with a dramatic 93rd minute penalty to give them a replay against Waterford United in their second round FAI Cup clash at Jackman Park last evening.

The majority of the 700 fans were on their way home when goalkeeper Mike Heath flighted the ball into the Waterford penalty area and substitute John O'Sullivan was upended.

Limerick never looked liked cancelling out Kevin O'Brien's superb 41st minute strike from 40 yards which gave Waterford the advantage.

The replay will take place in Waterford next Monday.

LIMERICK: Heath, Poill, Browne, Finucane, Purcell, Whyte (O'Sullivan), O'Donoghue (Ryan, Stokes), Hughes, O'Flynn, Mannering, Donnellan.

WATERFORD UNITED: Russell, Breen, Frost, O'Brien, Leahy, Fitzgerald, Phelan (Watson), Flanagan, Watters (Madden), Murphy (Cosgrave), Ray.

Referee: A O'Regan (Cork)

Limerick ... 1

Waterford United ... 1
