Rangers secure semi-final place

The four semi-final places for the Carlow SHC were decided over the weekend, with holders Mount Leinster Rangers safely through.

The defending champions were easy winners over Naomh Bríd and became the second side to qualify for the knockout stages. Leading 1-14 to 0-3, they had the game safe by half-time with Eddie Byrne scoring the goal just before the whistle.

The eventual winners, with Denis Murphy landing 0-11, were outscored in the second period but were content to hold what they had.
