Extra-time couldn't separate Lucan Sarsfields and O'Toole's in last night's Dublin SHC quarter-final at Parnell Park.

Kevin O'Reilly posted 0-15, including, a last-gasp equalising free, to earn Lucan a 0-24 to 1-21 draw. The replay will take place at the Donnycarney venue on Sunday as a curtain-raiser to the semi-final between Ballyboden St. Enda's and Cuala.

Sarsfields led by 0-7 to 0-2 after 10 minutes, but the Larriers had reduced the gap to two points, 0-10 to 0-12, by half-time. The accurate O'Reilly looked to have secured the win before Clare's Niall Arthur crashed a late O'Toole's penalty to the net to leave it 1-17 to 0-20 at full-time.

Ger Arthur put over three points in extra-time for O'Toole's, but O'Reilly's 79th minute free ensured Sars lived to fight another day.

Cuala, meanwhile, booked their place in the last four with a 4-16 to 1-11 victory over Craobh Chiarain, with Colin Cronin (two), David Treacy and Mark Schutte grabbing the goals.
