National Football League Division 4: Carlow 1-17 Waterford 0-9

Report by Kieran Murphy for the Irish Examiner newspaper

Carlow made it two NFL 4 wins out of two when they were pillar-to-post winners over Waterford at Netwatch Cullen Park on Saturday. They got off to a great start when captain, Darragh Foley, caught a high ball and converted the resultant mark. Colm Hulton and John Phiri added points before Waterford scored their first point from a Jason Curry free.

Carlow played a possession game with Waterford happy to absorb the pressure and hope to counteract when chances presented themselves.

The key moment of the half came on 28 minutes when Jamie Clarke fired to the Waterford net after taking a good pass from Ross Dunphy. At the interval Carlow led 1-9 to 0-5 and it was hard to see where Waterford could rescue their situation.

Just as they did in the opening half, the home side scored the first point of the second half with Hulton again on the mark. Curry replied with a well-worked Waterford point but again this was cancelled out when Conor Crowley was on hand to fire over. Carlow were just that too good and they kept the pressure on on their rivals and added points with Foley and Hulton on the mark.

They emptied their bench late on and sub, Cormac Lomax found the posts. Against a tiring defence, the home side were unlucky not to score further goals when both Dunphy and Eric Molloy were denied by Waterford keeper, Paudie Hunt. It was easy in the end for the home side who will know there are bigger tests ahead.
