TAILTEANN CUP ROUND 3
Carlow 1-9
Wicklow 0-15
Carlow bowed out of the Tailteann Cup on Saturday at the expense of Wicklow.
Carlow led by one with normal time almost up but Wicklow picked off the games’ final four points
Padraig O’Toole who has strong coffee enterprise connections in Carlow scored two points during this late surge to end Carlow’s involvement.
In a cautious and low-scoring first half, Carlow led 0-6 to 0-5 and possibly could have been further ahead.
Ross Dunphy and Aaron Amond popped up with noted scores in the half.
Liam Gavin had two good goal opportunities for Carlow but sadly weren’t converted.
His clubmate Eric Molloy did goal for Carlow in the second half but when Jamie Clarke was dismissed it seemed to have an impact on things late on.
Still Carlow led until the final minutes of normal time but Wicklow held their composure and worked the scores they needed.
Carlow boss Niall Carew stepped down after the game.
Carlow: Johnny Furey; Colin Byrne, Mark Furey, Eric Molloy; Mikey Bambrick, Jamie Clarke, Colm Hulton; Conor Doyle, Ross Dunphy; Aaron Amond, Paddy McDonnell, Conor Crowley; Liam Gavin, Darragh Foley, Cormac Lomax.
Subs: Niall Hickey for Gavin (49), Ciaran Moran for Hulton (58) John Phiri for Lomax (62), John Murphy for M Furey (62), Shane Buggy for Molloy (69).
