SETU Carlow 7-14 SETU Waterford 2-3
This division 2 Higher Education football league quarter-final at the Carlow Campus on Wednesday was a one-sided affair. Two goals from Oisin McGraynor and another through Adam Fanning were killer blows as the home side led 3-9 to 1-1 at the interval. Tom Fitzgerald was the Waterford goal scorer.
Further three-pointers in the final quarter from Sam Ryan and Luke O’Connor confirmed Carlow dominance and they finished the game with a flourish picking off scores at will.
Only for the bravery of Kyle Foley and agility, the Naomh Eoin and Carlow net-minder, the eventual winners could have brought their total of goals into double figures.
O McGraynor 2-4, A Fanning 1-3, S Ryan 1-3, M Cosgrove 1-1, L O’Connor 1-1, S Cassidy 1-0, C McGraynor 0-1, F Cooke 0-1.
Tom Fitzgerald 1-3 (1f), M Griffin 1-0.
