CARLOW ENDED THEIR provincial championship losing streak against Wexford as Paul Broderick and Brendan Murphy led them to a memorable win at Dr Cullen Park.
Danny Moran’s goal early in the second-half gave Carlow the belief they needed to kick on to their first Leinster championship win since 2011, but they still needed Murphy’s added-time goal after PJ Banville and Naomhan Rossiter hit the net for Seamus McEnaney’s side.
Two frees from Ciaran Lyng got Wexford off to a great start as they played into a strong wind, and after Eoghan Ruth missed a goal chance at the other end, Micheal Furlong made it 0-3 to 0-0 after eight minutes for Wexford.
Both teams employed extremely defensive set-ups without the ball, but Carlow added a couple of points from distance to combat that tactic through Alan Kelly and Paul Broderick to cut the lead to one.
Along with Brendan Murphy, Broderick was the real Carlow danger man, and he chipped over two more excellent points from play before the interval for his side.
The loss of Daithi Waters to a black card on 18 minutes was a significant blow for Wexford as Carlow began to take control around the middle, while a free from Broderick gave his side the lead for the first time in the 35th minute.
But as they did through the first-half, Wexford had a good return from placed balls and a free each from Ben Brosnan and Lyng means the sides were level at 0-8 each at the interval.
Wexford started brightly again after the break thanks to a Brosnan free, but their challenge went downhill quickly when Danny Moran goaled for a 1-8 to 0-9 lead.
A second yellow card for Eoghan Nolan saw Wexford reduced to 14 men for the last 24 minutes, but they were lifted by PJ Banville’s goal in the 48th minute that left Carlow one point ahead.

Broderick and Brendan Murphy added points for a determined Carlow, but as soon as their lead was three points, Wexford levelled mattered with their second goal from Naomhan Rossiter from close range.
Broderick brought his personal tally to ten points with the lead score nine minutes from time, but he was sent off two minutes later when he picked up a second yellow card, but Murphy’s late goal ensure the win for the home side and a quarter-final with Dublin.
