Antrim and Carlow draw

Antrim 1-12 Carlow 0-15: Allianz National Football League Division 4: The day was bright and brisk, but the football in yesterday’s Allianz NFL Division Four tussle at St Paul’s Complex in Belfast, didn’t match the conditions.

Even though the teams were tied eight times, including on 1-12 to 0-15 at the finish, there was little excitement. It was ponderous, passing game of football with plenty of scores, of course, but also plenty of mistakes.

Carlow will be better pleased with the outcome, although they had to rely on Paul Broderick for seven points, four frees, and three late scores from sub John Murphy, to share the spoils.
