County B Football Final – Coláiste Phobal Roscrea 3-10 v 3-7 Carrick an Suir CBS 28/01/20
Carrick got off to a quick start scoring 3 points without reply but Coláiste settled with an excellent score from Dylan Hogan. Carrick stayed on top for the first half with some quality scores and excellent teamwork. They got 2 goals in quick succession to take a 7-point lead not long before half time, Coláiste started to come into the game and were held out by the crossbar and some great goal-keeping keeping Carrick in the lead. Coláiste were rewarded for their consistent pressure at the end of the first half converting well taken points reducing Carrick’s lead to 5-points and a half time score of 2-4 to 0-5. First half scorers include: Dylan Hogan, Kenny Lee (2 points) and DJ McLoughlin (2 points)
Coláiste started the second half the way the finished the first. Their dominance began to pay off when Aaron Delahunty scored a great goal from some super team play which set them off on their comeback. Two more goals followed from DJ McLoughlin and Kenny Lee gave them a 6-point lead with not long to go. Carrick were not out yet though scoring a goal from a free kick which narrowed Colaiste’s lead. But some great composure from Coláiste saw them hold out and some crucial points Conor Donovan, Killian Sampson and Luke Seacy sealed the game for Coláiste. A well-deserved win for Coláiste after narrowly losing 3 weeks previously in Munster. Huge credit must be given to the entire Coláiste squad for their commitment throughout the year, each player can be proud of what they achieved especially the performance they showed in the second half of the County Final when their backs were against the wall against a very strong organized Carrick team. Final Score 3-10 to 3-7
