Michael Cooke reports from the Markets Field
Stephen Walsh’s late equaliser saw Galway United came from behind to draw 1-1 with Treaty United in the SSE Airtricity League First Division.
Enda Curran already gave the Treaty the lead in the opening stages who must wait at least another week to seal their place in the play-offs.
The hosts were in front for 71 minutes, but Galway deserved a draw based on an improved second-half display.
The hosts took the lead as early as the tenth minute and native Galway men Marc Ludden and Enda Curran were the chief protagonists.
Ludden’s trademark long throw was collected by Curran who fired his low first-time shot to the net for his 13th league goal of the season.
17 minutes later, Treaty almost doubled their advantage. Galway captain Conor O’Keeffe fouled Jack Lynch resulting in a 20-yard free-kick.
Willie Armshaw’s effort forced a fine save from Conor Kearns and Treaty failed to exploit the resultant corner.
On 41 minutes, Armshaw was again to the fore but his close-range effort went the wrong side of the post after the cut inside from the right. Tommy Barrett’s men still led 1-0 at the break.
Treaty almost doubled their lead within 60 seconds of the restart. Conor Melody’s 20-yard effort drew a fine save from Kearns and the resultant corner amounted to nothing.
Galway’s first real opportunity arrived on 50 minutes. John Caulfield’s men were awarded a free-kick but David Hurley’s delivery was headed over by Stephen Walsh
The visitors came close again 18 minutes later, Max Hemmings shot went narrowly wide after he connected with Ed McCarthy’s right-wing cross.
Curran and Ludden almost combined for another goal on 73 minutes. Curran outmanoeuvred Charlie Lyons after collecting a pass from his fellow Galway native but failed to direct his subsequent effort on target.
The Tribesmen eventually restored parity nine minutes from time thanks to a controversial penalty as Ludden was rather harshly adjudged to have brought down Wilson Waweru.
Stephen Walsh converted the spot kick as Galway United claimed a draw. The Tribesmen still remain six points adrift of leaders Cork City with three games remaining.
