Carlow qualify for Christy Ring final

Carlow 1-16 Mayo 0-17

A 71st-minute Robert Foley goal decided this Castlebar clash and shot Carlow through to their second Christy Ring Cup final in three years.

Mayo held a 0-10 to 0-06 interval lead with Adrian Freeman scoring five points for the hosts, who finished the half strongly.

However, Rory Dunbar grabbed a trio of scores for Carlow on the restart to cut the gap to the minimum.

Mayo kept in front, and led by a single point as injury-time approached until Foley's goal stole victory.
