If Carrig perform they should win it but they haven’t been
Tested yet. I think if it’s a tight game coming into the last 10 mins Coolderrys experience will see them through. Im going Coolderry by 2

Looking forward to this game, I went for
Carrig at the start of the year, but Coolderry have been on form also, the come back against Drumcullen shows they will be hard bet after been behind by 8 or 9 in that game.
Good luck to both teams I will go for Carrig 1-17 Coolderry 2-12

Carrig 1-20 Coolderry 2-11 : enjoyable game and a very tight first half but CR hurling and movement won out in the end.
For CR I thought Hoctor at 11 was motm, scored some great points and was very good on dead balls, MCDowell put away a very good goal in the second half that really was the winning of the game.
Kevin Brady caused a good bit of bother for CR defence each time the ball was hit in and took a goal and two points. Brophy #17 slotted his goal away great and then was running at CR defence every opportunity he got which one would wonder why he didn’t start.

First time seeing that Carrig and Riverstown team play this year.
Very impressed by them, a lot of change this year with the team now full of young lads.
Centre back Patrick Bergin is a big imposing and skilful hurler, think I heard someone say he’s only 18, anyone confirm this? If so, I’d love to see him in with the 20s.
The old guard battled well for Coolderry but were always looking like coming up short.

Do Carrig & Riverstown go into the Leinster junior competition now ?

I would imagine so, unless our senior b winners represent the county ?

Our Senior B Champions represent Offaly in the Leinster Intermediate Championship. However this has to be a club’s first team. Therefore one would think Offaly GAA will nominate Clodiagh Gaels to take part even if they lose the Senior B final to K/K.

Carrig and Riverstown will play in the Leinster Junior Championship.
