Carnaross failed to capture the silverware in the B League Division 6 Final when a Skryne goal five minutes from full-time proved to be the nail in the coffin.
The first-half was a tight affair throughout and Carnaross held a two-point advantage at the break, 1-6 to 0-7. Niall McDonnell led the way with 1-4 and the other two scores came from Stephen Flattery and a Ciaran McDonnell 45.
In the second-half Skryne started the brightest and quickly wiped out the two point deficit and went in front by a point. Niall McDonnell added two more points and with about ten minutes remaining the teams were level. Skryne hit the front again before Patrick Smith levelled matters with a well taken point. Then came the crucial score as Skryne scored a goal to leave them three points in front. Another point in the closing stages saw them run out four point winners.
