This game was dominated by weather condition because of strong winds however Merrion had the better opening with McCann running through on goal after 5 minutes and Malahide's goal keeper making a very good save.
Merrion should have been awarded a penalty for hand ball but the referee decided against it and awarded a penalty for Malahide after 25 minutes. Merrion keeper was the hero saving the penalty and giving his team the chance to stay in this game.
Malahide may have nicked it with 10 minutes to go however Merrion keeper again came to rescue to give Merrion a point from this game.
Merrion goes into the Christmas break in great mood knowing that they are 5 points behind the leader Cherry Orchard and with a game in hand.
