Dunford delivers as Carlow go the extra to reach first decider

IT Carlow 2-20 UCC 1-20: IT Carlow manager DJ Carey has no clue what shape his bruised and battered team will be in for today’s Fitzgibbon Cup final, but says whatever happens they’re in bonus territory now.

UCC had no answer to Carey’s warriors and when Waterford’s Colin Dunford struck the key goal nine minutes from the end of extra-time they had a four-point lead they defended to the end.

The likely loss of key players Dunford, Kevin Kelly and Stephen Maher to muscle injuries means today’s final with the champions Mary Immaculate College will be a big ask of Carey’s side, but he thinks they’ll empty the tanks again.
