B League (Division 4)
Played in Bective - 28/7/2014
Carnaross went down to Bective by the minimum margin following a tight game in Round 8 of the B League.
Carnaross started brightly with Cillian Comaskey pointing straight from the throw in. A Tadgh Skelly point doubled the Carnaross advantage a minute later before the home side pulled one back in the seventh minute. Carnaross were then dealt a blow when Matthew O'Reilly was dismissed for picking up a second yellow. The next score came in the twentieth minute when Pierce Fleming pointed for Carnaross. With three minutes remaining in the half Bective found then net to take the lead for the first time, but a point from Cillian Comaskey ensured the sides were level at the break, 0-4 to 1-1.
Bective hit the first score after the restart but Carnaross replied immediately with a free from Cillian Comaskey. Both sides exchanged two points each with Dean Connell and Cillian Comaskey pointing for Carnaross. Comaskey pointed once again to give Carnaross a one point lead but once again Bective levelled matters with ten minutes remaining. Carnaross were then down to thirteen men when Cillian Comaskey was harshly given his marching orders. Bective pointed from the resulting free with three minutes remaining and doubled their advantage a minute later. Despite the numerical advantage Carnaross were unlucky not to get a goal in the closing stages when both Niall Smith and Pierce Fleming were denied by the Bective keeper. A late point from Fleming proved to be the final score before the final whistle sounded.
