Classy Carbery face wait
Playing with the wind in the first half, the West Cork side shot into a 1-3 to 0-1 lead after just 10 minutes — the goal coming from James Fitzpatrick after three minutes — and from there on it was a case of damage-limitation for Newmarket.
To their credit, the losers battled gamely and showed enough to suggest they will trouble some teams at senior level, but Carbery Rangers had a hunger and an energy about them to indicate they will be there or thereabouts again this year.
