Furman's late effort gives Dublin lifeline

Leinster MFC First Round/ Dublin 1-13 Laois 0-16: A late point from Ted Furman ensured Dublin a replay in Saturday's game at Parnell Park.

There was little to separate the two teams in the early stages before Dublin posted 1-4 - Karl O'Connor found the back of the net shortly after the restart - without reply to open a six-point lead early in the second half.

Despite having Ciarán Farrell sent off, Laois fought back and Conor Meredith then curled over an effort to take the game to extra-time.

The visitors then built up a lead but Furman produced the goods to shoot three points in the second period of extra-time to take this quarter-final to a second game.
