Carnaross 1-8

Minor League
Played in Rathkenny - 17/3/2010

Rathkenny proved too strong for Carnaross in the first round of the Minor League which was played on St.Patricks day.

An early goal for the home side was followed with a couple of points. Charles Brogan replied with a point from a fifty, and following points from John Ward, John Carpenter and Charles Brogan again, Carnaross went in at half-time trailing by three points, 1-4 to 0-4.

Rathkenny got the first couple of scores in the second-half to stretch their lead but Carnaross did not give up. Cian Gillic scored a great long range point, and further points from John Carpenter, Charles Brogan and John Ward reduced the Rathkenny lead to just 4 points with time almost up. In the final attack from Carnaross, John Ward was taken down in the square and Charles Brogan scored a goal from the resulting penalty to leave just a point between the teams. However the referee blew the final whistle on the kick out to leave Rathkenny the winners by a point.

Best for Carnaross were Cian Gillic in defence, Charles Brogan at midfield and John Carpenter and John Ward in attack.
