In front of a packed house at Castlemartyr, we witnessed one of the great championship matches of the year.Both teams gave their all and hurled themselves to a standstill.
It is often said at these types of matches......"no quarter was asked or given".Well if that applied to any match ,then this was it.
For the second time in sucession, 70 minutes couldn't seperate these two fine sides.
Carrig were dealt a double blow in extra time with the loss of Noel Furlong and Niall McCarthy.
This tipped the balance in Midletons favour and the managed to tag on 3 unanswered points to run out winners on the night.
So relief for Midleton, as they stay senior for another year at least.
For Carrig it means that they now have to go to the last chance saloon, and take their chances in the relegation final.
Castlelyons will be Carrigs opponents in the relegation match, and that match is to be played at Ballynoe.
In the meantime Carrig have an anxious wait on their injured players Niall and Noel, to see if they will be fit for the playoff.
