Dean McMenamy\u2019s remarkable 96th-minute equaliser for Waterford FC rescued a point from the jaws of defeat against Galway United in the Premier Division clash at the RSC.<\/p>\n
The home side played second fiddle to their opponents for long periods, with Galway\u2019s goal coming from Killian Brouder\u2019s first-half header.<\/p>\n

McMenamy\u2019s leveller from close-range papers over the serious cracks this Waterford team showed, but they remain 10th and six points behind second-from-bottom Sligo Rovers.<\/p>\n
After Galway\u2019s Ed McCarthy and Stephen Walsh had early chances for the visitors, they did eventually make the breakthrough that their dominance deserved with 42 minutes on the clock.<\/p>\n

A dangerous David Hurley corner from the right found the head of central defender Brouder, and he couldn\u2019t believe his luck when planting an unchallenged close-range header to the net past Arlo Doherty.<\/p>\n
Second-half substitute Tommy Lonergan twice went close before skipper P\u00e1draig Amond saw his deflected effort go agonisingly wide of the target with ten minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
There was a final twist in the sixth added minute as the Blues won a corner-kick out on the right that saw Evan McLaughlin swing in a dangerous ball that landed on Amond\u2019s head.<\/p>\n
His header forward was bundled over the line by McMenamy to snatch a late point for the hosts.<\/p>\n
