O’Flaherty makes champions Moorefield pay for late wides

CHAMPIONS Moorefield were sensationally beaten by Carbury in a dramatic Kildare SFC tie that saw county star Eoghan O’Flaherty kick the winner from a free.

Carbury led at half time by 0-5 to 0-4, but a second-half goal from sub Niall Hurley-Lynch looked to have given Moorefield the initiative.

By then Jack Sheedy’s side were without Ronan Sweeney, who scored all four points in the first half until injury brought a premature end to his game. Level in the dying moments, Moorefield wasted two scoring chances before O’Flaherty slotted the winner for a 0-11 to 1-7 victory.
