Carlow SFC Final

EIRE OG 0-12 RATHVILLY 1-9

Eire Og's Cormac Mullins rifled over a late point as the Carlow SFC Final ended in a welter of excitement.

In the closing stages Eire Og, who trailed by four points after 40 minutes, came thundering back.

Rathvilly's Gary Dempsey scored 1-1 early on as they led 1-3 to 0-5 at the break.

Dempsey, Eric McCormack, and JJ Smith added points for Rathvilly, who were motoring well after the restart.
