Ciaran "Chizzy" Nolan's tem is unbeaten after one round, but did not secure the four premiership points it looked certain to do so with a few minutes remaining in the game.

The Crocs had to settle for a draw after some eleventh hour heroics by the Four Blues, and will now wait at least a fortnight for its first season win.

Barring veterans David "Chachi" Landrigan and Anthony "Tonza" Keyhoe, the lineup was youthful and had little experience playing as a unit. But the lure of the Green Hose remains strong and no doubt the coach will have them humming shortly.
