Pearse Ógs, Dundalk             6-12

Carryduff             0-05

Despite starting well and leading for the first 20 minutes of the first half, Carryduff suffered a humiliating defeat when they travelled to meet Pearse Ógs of Dundalk on Monday evening.

A general malaise appeared to disrupt the squad who appeared to lose all focus when Pearse Ógs rattled over three consecutive points between the 18th and 23rd minutes of the first half.

Carryduff failed to respond and then allowed the Pearses to add two soft goals and further points to their tally before the break to leave the half time score Pearse Ógs 2-07 Carryduff 0-05.

The second half was simply one-way traffic as Carryduff simply capitulated to the opposition.

Too many players failed to respond to the challenge and Carryduff failed to score at all in the second half. Pearse Ógs ran out convincing winners on a scoreline of 6-12 to 0-05.

Carryduff: Conor McCormick, Luke Elliott, Conor O’Neill, Cormac McCrory, Ciaran Goodwin, Conall Early, Aaron McEneaney, Mark McConville, Eóin Conway, Gareth Lynch, Conor Beattie, Micheal Conway, Niall Rodgers, Seán O’Callaghan, James Lavery. Substitutes: Rory McKay, Matthew Mooney, Dermie Magorrian, Matt McCauley, Liam Lavery.
