Weekend Wrap Up: Narrow defeats for Minor Hurlers along with Ladies Footballers and U16 Camogie

It was a case of close but no cigar for a number of Carlow sides across the weekend.

On Saturday the Carlow Minor Hurlers made their way to Portlaoise to take on the O'Moore county.

With Ruairi Murphy slotting frees to bate the band it seemed that Carlow might be in a position to snatch it near the end.

However Laois pushed on for a 3-12 to 0-15 victory.

The Carlow lads can be pleased with their efforts having competed gamely.

Laois also edged Carlow in the U16 Leinster Camogie Plate Final. A late goal winning the day by 3-6 to 2-5.

Elsewhere in the Leinster Junior Ladies Football Championship it was Longford who prevailed by 3-9 to 4-3 against Carlow. Two late goals swinging it for Longford in the end.

While in Division 1 of the Carlow Senior Football League there was a notable win for last years Intermediate Championship winners Clonmore over last years Senior Champions Eire Og by 1-12 to 2-8.
