| St. Mary's, Rasharkin 1-4 Carey 1-12 |
Carey travelled to St Mary's to find the home side in a mean mood, looking for survival points. Despite the stiff breeze, Carey were the far superior team in the first half, with points from Martin Mc Auley, Cathal Mc Auley and Julian Gillan, leaving us two ahead after the opening 15 minutes. Declan Mc Kay kept the home side in the game, with a couple of frees, but 2 Tommy Devlin points left us 0-5 to 0-3 ahead at the break.
The under-foot conditions and long grass certainly didn't suit good hurling, but a 40th minute Julian Gillan goal, left us 5 clear, only to be pegged back minutes later, when Mc Kay converted a 20m freefor his sides only goal.
Carey finally got the act going with a couple of James Black points, followed by another from Colin Smyth. The home side picked up their final score with a point. Indeed, all their scores came from frees. Black again slotted over another point, before Martin Mc Auley sent over another couple of points, with Julian Gillan picking up the final score with a point.
Best for Carey were, Colm Mc Bride and Emmett Hunter in defence, with Tommy Devlin always working hard at midfield, and Smyth, Black and Gillan the pick of the forwards.
