St Mullins collect record 24th title

St Mullins 0-9 Naomh Eoin, Myshall 0-7

Carlow SHC final: St Mullins marked the club’s centenary year by claiming the Carlow hurling title for a record 24th time at Dr Cullen Park yesterday, coming from three points down at half time to put in a storming second half which brought them a deserved two point victory over Naomh Eoin in a low-scoring final.

There was a dramatic end to the game when Naomh Eoin were awarded a close-range free deep in injury-time. With a phalanx of St Mullins players defending their goal, John Michael Nolan, Myshall’s full-forward, saw his cracking drive blocked. The final whistle sounded immediately.
