After losing to Mostrim in the opening round, Clonguish got back on track in this year's Senior Football Championship with seven points to spare over Carrickedmond at McGann Park, Kenagh on Sunday and would have won by more had they not conceded two late goals.
Clonguish . . . 2-13 Carrickedmond . . . 2-6
There was nine points in the game as the 60th minute approached but Carrickedmond made it a rather nervy finish when first Rioch Farrell and then Barry O’Farrell grabbed the goals in the space of a minute.
Conor Kelly then pointed a free to leave just four between the sides but substitute Colin Farrell grabbed a vital goal for Clonguish just before the final whistle that ended the Carrickedmond comeback.
