Tinryland in knockout stages

The sixth and final place in the knockout stages of the Carlow SFC went to Tinryland, who outfought Mount Leinster Rangers in Kildavin yesterday.

Both sides had a player sent off in the final minutes while a Tinryland selector was also banished to the terraces. At that stage the game was over, as Tinryland overcame the concession of an early Jack Murphy goal to overrun their opponents in the second half. Within the space of two minutes, Ian Scully and Matthew O’Toole struck for goals to help Tinryland into a 2-6 to 1-6 lead at the break.

The expected Rangers back-lash never arrived and Robbie Moore’s late strike was the icing on the cake for Tinryland.
