Mighty Rangers march out of the blue for famous win

Oulart-the Ballagh (Wexford) 0-8 Mount Leinster Rangers (Carlow) 0-11

Having lost the last three provincial finals, Oulart were widely viewed as heirs apparent, but a powerful Mount Leinster Rangers outworked and outfought the Wexford men for a deserved win.

Oulart certainly began like a team determined to put doubt in their inexperienced opponents’ minds early on. Garrett Sinnott had an Oulart goal disallowed – rightly – in the second minute after slaloming his way through the Rangers defence, and the Wexford men certainly dominated the first quarter in terms of possession.
