Junior side St Kevin's Boys came from a goal behind to force a FAI Cup second round replay against Roy Keane's old club, Rockmount, at the AUL Complex yesterday.
Having fallen behind to a 52nd minute Len Downey penalty, the Dublin side suddenly came out of their shell and levelled matters on the hour mark.
Declan Hickey's thundering twenty yard drive came crashing off the crossbar, but waiting to head home the rebound was the alert Keith Maher.
Despite dominating after that, the home side were unable to grab the winner against the Cork outfit, with Hickey and Wayne Griffin both squandering good chances, while they were denied a penalty midway through the half when Jordan Lancaster appeared to have been fouled by Philip Cunningham.
So the two sides must meet again next Sunday at Rockmount Park in Whitechurch to see who advances to round three.
ST KEVIN'S BOYS: Hannon; Carroll, McManus, Higgins, Long, O'Sullivan (Wilkins, 80), Duggan (Hickey, 56), Johnson, Maher, Griffin, Ryan (Lancaster, 19).
ROCKMOUNT: Cassidy; D Long, Foley, Cunningham, Lynch, Martin (Kenny, 90), Yelverton, Keane, Beechinor (T Long, 25), Downey, Buckley.
Referee: D Hancock (Dublin).
