LyIT trailed by nine points at one stage in the first half at Inniskeen.

Trinity were 3-4 to 0-8 ahead at half-time and it looked like Michael Murphy’s team were on their way on their out of the competition. At eight up, Trinity had missed a penalty, handing LyIt a huge life.

But LyIY hit back with John Campbell – who scored 1-5 – and Conor Classon on the mark with goals while Michael Langan hit six points.
