A MAGNIFICENT last minute header by Noel Melvin gave Finn Harps a deserved share of the spoils against Bohemians in an enthralling match in Ballybofey on Saturday night.

Bohemians got off to a dream start when Peter Hanrahan's cross was steered home by Brian Mooney in the second minute. Harps were back on level terms in the 12th minute when Davey Dowling headed past Henderson following Melvin's flick on.

Harps piled on the pressure after this and Henderson did well to deny Stephen Kelly in the 29th minute. However, Bohemians hit back with a classic counter attack in the 44th minute.

Tony O'Connor's through ball sent Derek Swan clear and his shot was parried by Platt into Mooney's path and he made no mistake from close range.
