Liam Flynn's 53rd-minute goal had moved Passage 2-13 to 0-14 ahead, but late goals from Seanie Callaghan and Darragh McGrath with just two minutes left salvaged the draw for Abbeyside.

Mark Fitzgerald starred for Passage, hitting 1-5 in the first half as the Easterners motored ahead.

Patrick Curran was the star of the show as Dungarvan breezed past Dunhill in Group D.

The Old Boro were comfortable 3-22 to 0-12 winners in Carrickbeg, having got off to the perfect start as Waterford midfielder Darragh Lyons raised the first green flag with just a minute on the clock.

Curran added a second goal on the quarter hour, before youngster Eoin O'Callaghan finished off an excellent team move on 25 minutes - leaving Dungarvan 3-11 to 0-6 ahead at the interval.

Eamonn Murphy starred for Dunhill with nine points, but Curran's 1-12 was vital on the day for Dungarvan who had a wealth of different scorers.
