Navan O’Mahony’s 2-11
Carnaross 2-21
Table-toppers Carnaross had too much in the tank for O’Mahony’s on Tuesday evening in Round 4 of the Div 9 FL, played in a sunny Paddy O’Brien Park.
Carnaross pointed from play in the second minute to take an early lead. An impressive score came in response from Paul Cunningham who rattled the net. Less than ninety seconds later, Clayton O’Sullivan did likewise to put O’Mahony’s five points up after four minutes.
The visitors were unfazed by the lightning start however, and slowly kicked their way back into the game. A point separated the sides when netminder Bríen Yourell made an impressive save. A couple of minutes later, Carnaross equalised and went on to kick five more points before the interval, while keeping the Brews Hill men scoreless.

It was O’Mahony’s who got off to the better start in the second half, with Ciaran McGuinness kicking an impressive two-pointer from play on the edge of the arc. Carnaross responded quickly to score three points in a row before substitute Jack McConnell pointed twice from play.
O’Mahony’s were really left chasing the game after a five-minute spell saw Carnaross add 1-03. O’Sullivan responded to this with two points while McConnell also added a free. Around this time, Yourell also made another good save.
With ten minutes to go, Carnaross scored another goal, creating a gap that was too much for O’Mahony’s to bridge in the remaining time. Although McGuinness and O’Sullivan (two pointer) added to earlier scores, as well as a free from Aaron Coyle kept the scoreboard moving, Carnaross ran out as ten point winners at the final whistle.
