Kavanagh rescues Naomh Eoin

THE Willie O’Connor Cup went unclaimed after yesterday’s Carlow SHC final at Dr Cullen Park as Naomh Eoin battled back to force a draw with Mount Leinster Rangers, 1-7 to 0-10, with a late point from a free by captain Dwain Kavanagh.

The sides replay on Sunday next.

Meanwhile defending football champions Old Leighlin will meet Tinryland in the October 16 SFC final after they saw off Éire Óg 2-7 to 1-6 in Saturday’s replayed semi-final.
