Calnan hat-trick kills off Carbery

Clonakilty 4-5 Carbery Rangers 2-8

It was a hat-trick of goals by Clon centre-forward Colm Calnan that decided the destiny of the title. His third goal came in the 56th minute, after Carbery had battled back from an eight-point deficit.

Calnan’s second in the 47th minute might have been down to poor Carbery defending, but his opener in the 25th minute lit up a splendid Black Field venue — a real cracker after ripping through the Rangers defence.
