The Minor footballers continued where they left off against Killeagh last week with another win in the league, this time against Scarriff Gaels (Cloyne & Ballinacurra). The game was played in Colaiste an Chroi Naofa after the wet weather of the last week, and both sides had to make the best of windy conditions in what was a close competitive game. The sides went in level at the interval, at 0-4 a piece, Carraigs scores coming from a John O'Sullivan free, Brian Twomey and Cian Dorgan, who scored 2 points from full forward in the opening half. Carraig only got the edge on their opponents in the second half, with John O'Sullivan adding another free early on, Brian Twomey added a point, Scarriff responded with 2 points of their own to keep it in the balance. Then both sides exchanged goals. Carraigs came from the boot of Rory McCarthy, who finished well following some good team work. From here to the finish, Scarriff only added one more point, while Carraig added 5 points in the closing stages, from Brian Twomey (3) and Cian Dorgan (2), to run out winners on a scoreline of 1-11 to 1-8.
