Showing a lot of character in a must win match, Carrickedmond recovered from a slow start to eventually master Mostrim with just a solitary point separating the sides in the crucial Group 2 clash at Allen Park on Saturday evening.
Carrickedmond . . . 0-11 Mostrim . . . 0-10
The reward for Maurice O’Connor’s committed charges is a place in the last eight of the Senior Football Championship while Edgeworthstown, fancied to make further progress in the Connolly Cup, are now facing a battle to avoid relegation.
Played in difficult wet conditions at the Newtownforbes venue, Mostrim held a slender 0-6 to 0-4 lead at the break but struggled badly in the second half as the much more direct Carrickedmond outfit, sticking to a stubborn defensive gameplan, got the vital scores to come out on top in a tense finish.
