London 0-12
Carlow 0-13
CARLOW PULLED OFF their second championship win of the year as they scraped by London by just a single point in Ruislip.
In dramatic closing stages, each side had a player sent off, but the visitors held on to book their place in the next round of the qualifiers.
After shocking Wexford and then giving a spirited performance, but falling to the hand of Dublin in Leinster, Turlough O’Brien’s side headed to McGovern Park in high confidence.
It was they who drew first blood through Darragh Foley, before a Rory Mason free-kick for the Exiles had the game tied on two points a-piece as the ten minute mark neared.
Opening a slight gap, Carlow were spared as Liam Gavaghan’s effort was saved.
The game was tit-for-tat for much of the first half, with three wides recorded by each heading for the break, and the scoreline reading 0-7 to 0-5 in favour of the visitors.
On the restart, London had a goal opportunity, but Mark Gottsche opted for the point, before Carlow extended their lead.
Then came the first of two marching orders.
Jarlath Branagan saw his second yellow card as he was involved in a tussle and London were reduced to 14 men, before Carlow’s Brendan Murphy followed suit just minutes later. He was dished a second yellow for grabbing former Tyrone star Owen Mulligan by the neck.
With two points in it, London battled hard and pulled one back but Carlow held on to run out winners in Ruislip, and march on in the qualifiers.

Ffs if Roy does a shit the press are asking Martin what kind of toilet paper is he using
Word of the day is “wedge” media trying to drive it between Ireland management team and goverment trying to give us the short end of it regarding irish water costs!
The media is bloody ridiculous, it’s gotten out of hand. This is some TMZ level nonsense.
Whether it’s a media thing or not, O’ Neill must have a pain in his arse answering questions about Keane
Who care ffs !! Write about something else will ya
Dear Journal,
Eagerly awaiting ma Roy Keane Press blackout.
Regards,
Don Juan.
Get rid of Keane he’s bad news
Wonder what Villa make of all this…………..
He hadn’t read them cos he’s sick of him! Get rid of him Martin
There were no “controversial remarks” – just another pathetic attempt by the media to create a rift in the Irish managerial setup.
The definition of a controversy is a ‘prolonged public disagreement or heated discussion’.
Regardless of whether you agree with Keane or not, his comments have clearly caused heated discussion, hence they’re controversial.
Absolute nonsense, this is the perfect example of a manufactured “controversy” and a continuation of the media “frenzy” surrounding the non-story “assault” at the team hotel before the Scotland game. Keane can’t move without the media blowing everything out of proportion. They know his name sells papers and doubly so if there is even the slightest hint of him getting annoyed. And can you blame him for asking “Who the hell do you think you are?” with the likes of this clickbait gibberish?
At what stage in the future will the Keane brigade start shouting about O’Neill not having a clue and telling us it’s time Roy took over. His consent forays into the headlines are tiresome and should do everyone a favour and go back to ITV. His time is nearly up at Villa anyway but I’m sure Lambert will get the blame there.
I thought the British media were bad. Our own lot are no better……These so called stories are non stories. Wouldnt be surprised if O’Neill walked away altogether.
Roy shocks the docile sheep by having a opinion and a pair of balls,!!!
It’s a perfect blend. Keane can go out and say what o Neill wants to say but can’t incase he offends. Great tactics.
I’d prefer our management team to be more concerned about tactics on the pitch – that Scotland side are no better than us man for man, but looked a much better side
Missed what keane said about grealish/grealish’s dad?
g shh hhh GB kk
