Carrigtwohills Senior hurlers put in a storming finish tonight,in there relegation match with Midleton.The match ended in a draw when Niall McCarthy pounced at the death to force the ball into the Midleton net.
It wasn't looking too good for Carrig when Midleton helped themselves to to early goals.Carrigs poor finishing in front of goal(7 wides in the first half)looked like it was going to cost them the game.They went into the break 7 points down.
On the resumption it was Midleton who seemed to come out if the blocks better, but Carrig weathered the storm, and it was carrig who upped the pace in the last 20 mins.
They whittled away at Midletons lead.Noel Furlong put Stephen Dineen in and he made no mistake with a blistering shot to the roof of the net.This was the break Carrig needed, and when Carrig won a 21 yard free,Niall McCarthy stepped up and blasted the ball to the Midleton net.This left Midleton with a slender 1 point lead.Midleton made a fine response and they tacked on 2 more points.Carrig continued to force the pace and were rewarded for their bravery right at the end when the Carrigs Robert White whipped a shot across goal, and Niall McCarthy pounced to force the ball into the net.
Carrig came close to snatching the match a minute later when Thomas Hogan narrowly missed from a free wide on the left.The final whistle sounded soon after that and it would seem that Carrig were the happier of the 2 teams leaving Castlmartyr.If Carrig can find there range in front of goal,Then it will be Midleton heading into the Slan Lait Final.
Final Score Carrig 3-11 Midleton 2-14
Man of the Match for me...............................Niall Mac 2 goals and 5 points.
