KILDRUM Tigers’ chances of Premier Division glory evaporated as Donegal Town denied them with a late equaliser at the Hospital Field.

After coming from 2-0 down to lead 3-2, it served as a real blow for the St Johnston men.

Donegal were quicker out of the blocks, a great finish from Joe Mac Intyre was followed by a bullet-like header by Ronan Mc Hugh with 25 minutes gone.

Kildrum to their credit never wilted and Kevin McHugh made it 2-1 just before half-time.

The second-half was all Kildrum and Damien Crossan equalised. Mattie Crossan scored a great free-kick to make it 3-2 to Kildrum who were cruising. Crossan then hit the crossbar with a header.

Donegal battled gamely with Graham McHugh, Joe Mac and Eoin Slevin to the fore.

Ultan O’Grady went on a mazy run on the right wing and sent in a great cross for David Graham to finish cooly to level the scores and that is how it ended.

Referee: Liam McLaughlin
